The Reality Facing Small Businesses

Cybercriminals don't just target large corporations. Small businesses are often targeted because they have fewer security controls, limited resources, and little time to manage cybersecurity risks.

Small businesses are major targets

  • 46% of all cyber breaches impact businesses with fewer than 1,000 employees. Hackers increasingly focus on smaller organizations with fewer defenses.
  • 43%–46% of all cyberattacks target small businesses. Multiple sources confirm nearly half of all breaches hit smaller companies.
  • Nearly half (46%) of SMBs have experienced a cyber attack.

Many small businesses don’t believe they’re at risk
  • 59% of small business owners with no cybersecurity measures believe their business is too small to be attacked.
  • 36% of small businesses report being “not at all concerned” about cyberattacks.

Preparedness and defenses are seriously lacking

  • 51% of small businesses have no cybersecurity measures at all.
  • Only 20% implement multi-factor authentication — a basic security step.
  • Just 17% of small businesses encrypt data — another fundamental defense.

Consequences can be devastating

  • 60% of small businesses that suffer a cyberattack go out of business within six months.
  • The average cost of a breach for a small business can be $120,000–$1.24M just to respond and recover.
  • After an attack, 80% of SMBs say they had to spend time rebuilding trust with clients.

Most attacks are preventable with basic security hygiene

  • 80% of all hacking incidents involve compromised credentials or passwords.
  • Small businesses receive 1 in every 323 emails containing malware, phishing or malicious content — far higher than many assume.
    — far higher than many assume.

“Small businesses are not too small a target — nearly half experience cyber attacks, and most lack meaningful defenses.”Industry data synthesis
