CYBER SECURITY SOLUTIONS

Impact of cyber attack on your business

Cyberattacks can have a devastating impact on businesses.

Downtime can cost your business hundreds or thousands of dollars an hour in repair costs and missed productivity, while the loss of sensitive company or client data can be even more costly – often forcing a business to go out of business completely.

The risk of a cyberattack has intensified in recent years, as small and midsized businesses become the favored target for cyber thugs.

Though relatively undefended compared to large companies, many SMBs still possess valuable data that can be sold on the black market, which makes them a target of both professional and amateur hackers.

If your company hasn’t experienced a data breach, that’s great news! But you shouldn’t celebrate just yet.

If your cybersecurity is lacking, it’s only a matter of time before you fall victim to a breach because there are plenty of cyberattacks to go around.

Just a simple Google search for “data breach” will prove this to you.

1. The rate of data breaches is increasing
Over 146 billion records are expected to be exposed through data breaches between 2018 to 2023 based on a rate of increase of 22.5% per year.
2. Most companies are not “cyber-ready”
73% of organizations are considered cyber novices. Only 11% are considered cyber experts.
3. Cybercriminals do not discriminate
61% of data breach victims in 2017 were businesses with under 1,000 employees.
4. The costs of security breaches are rising
The global average cost of a data breach in 2018 is 3.86 million, which went up 6% from the previous year. For US companies, it’s $7.91 million.
5. Employees have access to a lot of information
88% of companies with over 1 million folders have more 100,000 folders open for access for all their employees.
6. People will avoid doing business with you
64% of customers say they’re unlikely to do business with a company that has experienced a sensitive data breach in the past.
7. Losing customers is expensive
Organizations face an average cost of $2.8 million when they lose 1% or less of customers as a result of a breach. For 4% or more, the average cost is $6 million.
8. You could be experiencing a breach right now
On average, 68% of breaches took months or longer to discover.
9. People have poor security habits
65% of companies have more than 500 users with passwords that never expire.

Email is responsible for 92% of malware infections through phishing scams.
