Are small to midsized businesses breach-ready?

Oct, 29, 2018 Hi-network.com

You put on the parachutebeforeyou leave the plane. The helmetbeforethe bike ride. In much the same way, the key to staying cyber-safe is assessing risk long before anything scary happens. Safety can't be an afterthought.

Though we're approaching the end of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we and our customers can't stand down, not even a bit. Everyone needs their digital safety patrol looking out for them, 24/7, 365. Cisco Security -integrated, automated and backed by Cisco Talos threat intelligence, never stands down. It's our job to see the cyber threats coming and offer our partners the best solutions to keep their businesses growing, and customers of all sizes safe. Yes indeed, customers of all sizes...

Preach: beware the small to midmarket security breach

In a recent blog post, John Stewart, our Cisco cyber-guru, cites findings from our first-ever, highly shareable Special Edition Cybersecurity Report (SMB) for small businesses:

". . . Every organization, large or small, is at risk for an attack. Increasingly, small and midmarket businesses are the focus . . . and often serve as a launch pad or conduit for bigger campaigns."

He says cybersecurity must become an integral part of every business operation, including sales.

Small and midsized companies report:

  • 53% have experienced a breach
  • Their high volume of alerts means only about half of breaches (56%) are investigated
  • 29% of breaches have cost their company less than$100K
  • 20% say their cost is closer to$1,000,000-$2,499,999

Customers are counting on us to protect them from threats, no matter how big, small, or in between the size of their business.
