The Future of Your Small Business Depends on Your Cyber Readiness
September 30, 2025
The bad news: a cyber-attack could not only slow down your small business, it could ruin it. Over 90% of small businesses were targeted by cyber criminals in 2024. Some businesses survive, but 60% of small businesses who experienced a cyber-attack closed within six months. The good news: simple preparations can make your business a less vulnerable target for cyber criminals.
The reasons that a cyber attack can kill your business are both financial and reputational. A data breach can cost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in recovery costs and close your doors while you solve the issues. Once you or your customers’ records have been hacked and exposed, your reputation may never recover.
