Cybersecurity Risk Awareness
Cyberattacks can happen to anyone, regardless of company size or industry. This is especially true today, with more remote workers, cloud services and mobile devices than ever before.
That’s why small and midsize businesses (SMBs) are turning their attention to cybersecurity. ConnectWise’s 2020 State of SMB Cybersecurity report found that 77% of SMBs are concerned about cyberattacks within the next six months, and 73% plan to increase their cybersecurity within the next 12 months.
Yet, that same report found that only 57% of SMBs have in-house cybersecurity experts, and only 43% outsource their cybersecurity. That leaves a lot of SMBs with weaknesses to attack.
As we head toward a new year, MSPs may find themselves in conversations with existing customers who are grappling with remote work and are making cybersecurity a top priority for 2021. There’s significant opportunity for MSPs to offer “MSP plus” service, helping their clients to embrace better security practices. In fact, our 2020 State of SMB Cybersecurity report found that 91% of SMBs would switch MSPs for the right cybersecurity support.
SMB Cybersecurity: Why Many Don’t Think They’re a Target
Everyone expects hackers to target big, lucrative targets. Over the years, we’ve seen massive breaches in the headlines, like the Equifax breach in 2017, which compromised sensitive information for tens of millions of people internationally.
In the face of these headlines, SMBs may assume they’re not a target—but that couldn’t be further from the truth. They may be less likely to make the news, but SMBs are a very popular target for attacks.
What would you do if a hacker installed ransomware on your computers, shutting you out until you paid a ransom? Or what if an employee clicked on a phishing email and spread malware through the business?
According to our 2020 SMB cybersecurity report, 55% of SMBs have experienced a cyberattack. Many small to midsize companies hold valuable information that can be exploited, such as customer addresses, payment information and more. And when it comes to ransomware, SMBs may feel forced into a “do or die” situation, paying a handsome ransom to regain access to computers and business-critical information.
Here’s a closer look at what makes SMBs a tempting target and how MSPs can help them better protect their assets.
As mentioned, SMBs often have access to valuable information, which can be lucrative for hackers. The 2020 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report stated that financial motives were behind 83% of attacks on SMBs of under 1,000 employees.
In October 2020, several U.S. federal agencies issued a warning to hospitals and healthcare providers about an increase in ransomware incidents. Beyond this news, SMBs such as dentists’ offices, physicians’ practices and other small healthcare providers are also at risk, as are less obvious businesses, such as regional retail stores, cafes and restaurants, and even government agencies, school districts and nonprofits.
