Avoid common cybersecurity mistakes

Cyber attacks and data breaches are among the biggest risks currently facing small businesses, with a recent study by Jupiter Research showing that half have been victims in the last year.

Yet despite the growing threat, many SMEs still believe that they won't be affected, with the same study showing three quarters feel they are currently secure and 86 per cent believe they are doing enough to protect themselves. Many also believe they are simply too small to be in danger.
