Data breaches and cyber attacks aren’t just a problem for international corporations, as small businesses find themselves falling victim to such incidents every day. In fact, 75% of SMEs have experienced some kind of cyber attack in the past 12 months.
Cyber Crime & Data Breaches – What You Need To Know
Cyber attacks come in many shapes and sizes but if a data breach occurs, the effects upon your business can be devastating. When you consider the potential costs associated with losing valuable data, repairing or replacing corrupted equipment, loss of business, compensation payouts and fines, it’s easy to see why data security breaches cost SMEs on average £75K.
These costs mean that as many as 25% of SMEs won’t survive a data security breach. This is a particularly worrying statistic when you consider that 50% of all data breaches are caused by simple human error.
