Best practices for SMBs to back up and safeguard data
According to recent research, a vast majority (82%) of businesses have identified weak spots in their organisation’s cyber defences. This is expected to become a greater area of concern as malicious actors gain access to new ways to conduct attacks on small businesses.
In the last few years, cybercriminals have organised and built plug-and-play attacks, making targeting small businesses extremely easy and profitable. Ransomware attacks are among the most popular forms of attacks for this very reason. This method of attack allows malicious actors to encrypt key business data and force organisations to pay a ransom in exchange for decryption of the stolen data. Otherwise, businesses lose access to key information that could disrupt regular operations. The cost of cyber attacks go beyond that too. SMBs could have to pay in terms of reputation loss and monetary fines.
