[BURLESON, 7/25/2018]—Businesses, especially small and medium businesses (SMBs), are susceptible to cyber attacks. Hackers and viruses can cost businesses to lose thousands of dollars in income and millions of records containing confidential data. It is important, therefore, for businesses not to take any cyber attacks for granted. That is where Justice IT Consulting comes in to help the businesses.

Cyber Attacks: Big Risk for a Small Business

According to the 2018 Data Breach Investigation Report by Verizon, 61 percent of breaches struck small businesses in 2017, which was higher than the previous year’s 53 percent. In a breach, small businesses could lose a lot more important data than big companies, no matter how ‘small’ the actual volume of data is. An article in USA Today cites sensitive customer records, such as social security and credit card numbers, as some of the critical data affected during these breaches.

Data loss is not the only risk faced by SMBs. Cyber attacks may also result in the closure of a business. UPS Capital, a financial services company, reported that SMBs stand to lose anywhere between $84,000 and $148,000 from cyber attacks. If a business barely earns, one cyber attack could destroy its operation. In fact, 60 percent of SMBs shut down within six months of an attack, according to UPS Capital.
