Why smart business owners are taking a tough stance on cybersecurity
Large organizations like Uber, Equifax, and Target are falling victim to cyber criminals, costing them millions of dollars in consumer reparations. The last five years have shown a steady increase in cyber attacks targeting businesses with less than 250 employees and in 2017 the FBI reported $1.42 billion in victim losses from internet crime.
Organizations of all sizes are understanding the importance of a strong security posture. Business owners are particularly at risk, as they struggle with lean IT budgets and limited IT personnel to fight against these attacks. Here are a few quick reasons why security matters to the success of your business.
1
PROTECTION
Safeguard your company’s and your customer’s personal data. Hackers can steal your intellectual property and other valuable information to file for fraudulent tax returns, send email spam to your customers, impose wire transfers on bank accounts, and commit identity theft.
2
TRUST
Your business is built on trust, if visitors of your website see the signs that your website has been hacked, they will likely go elsewhere
3
MINIMIZE RISK
Cyber attacks, depending on the severity, can cost your business thousands of dollars in customer compensations, IT service repairs and more. You also risk losing new and existing clientele as your brand reputation suffers.
