Myth: Hackers go after big companies. A business our size is not worth their time.

Reality: Attackers don’t pick targets by size. They pick them by opportunity.

Most attacks today are automated. Criminals run tools that scan the internet for unpatched systems, exposed logins and inboxes that will click. Those tools do not check your revenue first. If a door is open, they walk through it.

Why smaller businesses are attractive

Small and midsize businesses often look like easier wins:

• Fewer defenses. Many run without full-time security staff, 24/7 monitoring or a tested response plan.
• Valuable data. Customer records, payment details and employee information are worth the same to a criminal no matter who holds them.
• A path to bigger targets. Attackers use smaller vendors and partners as a back door into larger clients.
• Pressure to pay. When downtime means lost revenue and missed payroll, attackers know a ransom demand is more likely to get paid.

What an attack actually costs

The ransom or the stolen funds are only the start. Add downtime, recovery work, legal fees, customer notifications and the hit to your reputation. For a smaller business, one serious incident can threaten the whole operation.
