Why Cybersecurity Matters for SMBs 

  • Rising threats: Malware, ransomware, credential theft, business email compromise, and cloud vulnerabilities—common causes of data loss and downtime. [blog.box.com][sentinelone.com] 
  • SMB adoption gap: 44% of SMBs mistakenly believe basic antivirus is “good enough,” leaving them vulnerable. [cyberdefen…gazine.com] 
  • The cost of failure: Average breach costs reached $4.88 million in 2024. [sentinelone.com]
