Find Cybersecurity Threats before a Cybercriminal Does

The modern world is an online one. If a startup wants to survive they must have an online presence. However, as more and more businesses store their data online, the odds of a cyberattack rise. According to Gemalto’s Breach Level Index, 58% of businesses experienced a data breach in the year 2018. Furthermore, an estimated 290 business records were stolen or exposed every second in 2018. These numbers show how important it is to find cybersecurity threats before a cybercriminal does.

In 2017, Small Business Trends found that approximately 43 percent of these data breaches not only target small businesses, but 60 percent of these companies go out of business within six months of an attack. That’s a risky percentage for something that could have been avoided.

What happens after a Cyberattack?

When data is compromised, businesses often must pay fines and court fees, and invest in identity theft services as a result. In addition to all of this, businesses will often lose valuable clients and end up spending even more on customer acquisition and reputation rebranding. 

Customers trust a business that secures their information. The sad truth is many businesses neglect weaknesses that make their clients’ data a target for cybercriminals. According to Small Business Analytics, 47 percent of small businesses do not know how to protect themselves against cyber attacks.
