SBAM’s approved vendor partner, SensCy, has unpacked their latest research and is showing how organizations like yours are building smarter, stronger defenses.
Small and medium-sized organizations (SMOs) are facing a growing wave of cyber threats—yet most don’t know where they stand. In fact, 43% of all cyberattacks now target SMOs, and it takes months to recover. But there’s good news: cyber resilience isn’t out of reach. It starts with the right approach to people, process, and tools.
- 94% of SMOs lack basic cybersecurity protections, making them prime targets for hackers.
- Fewer than 1 in 5 organizations conduct regular risk assessments.
- The average cost of a cyber breach for an SMO is $290,000, with long-term revenue loss due to reputational damage.
- Organizations with a proactive cybersecurity approach are 50% less likely to experience major disruptions.
There is good news! Small businesses can significantly reduce their cyber risk and build a culture of cybersecurity vigilance by taking some strategic steps. Continue reading for valuable information and tools to help prepare your company.
