Attacks on SMBs are real, on the rise, and can pack a devastating blow. Here are some of the supporting facts.

• Only 14% of small businesses rate their ability to mitigate cyber risks, vulnerabilities, and attacks as highly effective.
• 60% of small companies go out of business within six months of a cyberattack.
• 80% of critical infrastructure organizations experienced a cyberattack last year
• In 2020, the average time to identify a breach was 207 days.

Cybersecurity Awareness Month is designed to engage and educate not only our clients, but ourselves. To increase resiliency in the event of a cyber incident, we need to be ready too!

It’s widely accepted that human error is the leading cause of data breaches. However, what’s often overlooked is that most of these errors could be avoided with the right security education for the right people at the right time.

The most vulnerable target of many organizations is not a system or technology. It’s people. With cybersecurity training solutions from Verity IT, we can empower employees with the right skills and knowledge to put the bad guys out of business.
