Ponemon: More than Half of SMBs Have Suffered a Cyber-Attack in Last Year

No business is too small to evade a cyber-attack or data breach: That finding of a Ponemon Institute study focused on the cybersecurity threat to small and medium-sized companies (SMBs).

In fact, 55% of SMB respondents said they experienced a cyber-attack in the past 12 months, and 50% of companies represented in this study had a data breach during the past year. The most prevalent attacks against smaller businesses are web-based and phishing/social engineering.
