The Crappy News
1. Cyberbullies Aren’t Going Away
Rather, they’re getting more cunning every year—especially now that many companies have transformed to a fully remote or hybrid workplace. When your endpoints (phones, computers, printers, and the like) are in various locations, they’re more exposed to attacks. And they come at businesses with a host of weapons, like malware, ransomware, spyware, phishing, and more.
We don’t mean to scare you, but you should be aware of some recent facts:
- Cyberattacks increased by 50% in 2021 vs. 2020.
- 43% of all cyberattacks are aimed at small/medium businesses, but only 14% are prepared to defend themselves.
- 66% of small/medium businesses experienced a cyber-attack in the past 12 months.
2. Not All Data Breaches Are Caused by Outside Cyberattacks
In fact, there’s a variety of ways breaches can occur internally, some of which are innocent mishaps:
- A flaw in the company password policy
- Lost or stolen devices
- An employee falls prey to a phishing email
- A “malicious insider” who shares company data with outsiders
- An “insider accident” where an employee accesses a co-worker’s laptop or other device
