Breached Data Means Big Problems for Small Businesses

According to a recent Experian report, 60 percent of small business owners who have suffered a data breach go out of business with six months of the breach. If you're a small business owner and not implementing the proper measures for data protection, you're opening yourself up to a huge risk.

Data breaches are a threat for a business of any size, but according to the National Small Business Association, a single cyber attack costs a small business an average of $8,669.48, not accounting for the ripple effects of decreased sales and reduced trust and tainted reputation after a breach occurs.
