believe that only large enterprises with substantial budgets and expansive customer bases are the primary targets of attacks. However, this isn’t entirely true as small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) also hold sensitive information that is attractive to bad actors, and they are typically less prepared to safeguard it.<\/p>\n

CyberCatch, based in Vancouver, has highlighted the state of security for SMBs in its recent Small and Medium-Sized Business Vulnerabilities Report (SMBVR<\/a>), revealing that eight out of ten<\/strong> Canadian SMBs are at risk of a cyberattack. Many of these businesses operate in critical industry sectors such as finance and healthcare. The report’s findings all point to the need for strong cybersecurity measures in the SMB segment.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background”
