Why Cyber Security matters for all SMEs in Australia

Is your small business prepared for a cyber security attack?

Business Cyber Security is now more important than ever.

As an SME owner, you may think cyber security is much more of a concern for larger corporations.

The sobering truth is that cyber-attacks have steadily and increasingly targeted SMEs. In fact, recent reports estimate that nearly half of all cyber-attacks today are directed at SMEs. These cyber-attacks are more sophisticated, automated and indiscriminate in who they target.

It may no longer be a matter of “if,” but rather “when” a cyber security attack attempt will threaten your business.   

So why is this happening?  Statistically speaking, SMEs often have less attention, resources, time and know-how to devote to managing their IT security. Cyber-criminals are therefore attracted to the honeypot of potential vulnerabilities that unwitting business owners and operators leave open to exploit while their attentions are focused elsewhere.

The repercussions of a cyber-attack can be devastating, ranging from large financial losses to lasting reputational damage, and potentially, legal liabilities resulting from customer data leaks. In some instances, the damage can be much more insidious, remaining undetected for weeks, months and years. 

Our cyber security services are designed to address these challenges head-on, empowering SMEs like yours to thrive in the digital landscape with complete peace of mind.
