Over Two-Thirds of SMBs Lose Money In Cyber Attacks: BBB

This article talks about the following: This is a survey conducted on more than 2000 businesses by BBB. The results from the discussion with respondents showed that about one thirds of small and marginal businesses are victims of cyber threats and though they take all preventive measures right from filtering emails and traffic over the internet, 8% of the respondents haven’t heard from dangerous virus such as Trojan. The most important reasons that hinder businesses from using cyber security protection are lack of resources, unskilled to tackle cyber-attacks, and some say that they lack information. These results are peculiarly interesting because they give customer sentiments towards such threats.

It will be interesting to see how things unfold in the future. What measures or resources can small businesses avail to tackle cyber threats? Will financial resources allow small businesses to invest in cyber security measures?
