Cyber Liability for SMBs: Safeguarding Digital Operations and Client Data
Published by insurancenow Editorial Team
As small and medium-sized businesses digitize operations, process online payments, and store client data in the cloud, they become prime targets for cybercrime, ransomware attacks, and data breaches.
The Myth of Invulnerability
Many startup owners assume cyberattacks target only massive corporations. In reality, automated bots and hackers frequently target smaller firms with weaker digital security perimeters. A single data breach can result in severe regulatory fines, legal notification costs, and permanent reputational damage.
