Large-scale cyberattacks make the news, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Cybercrime is on the rise, and the majority of attacks go unreported.
Consider the Following Facts:
The University of Maryland found that there are an average of 2,244 cyberattacks per day, which is one every 36 seconds.
The International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) reported that small-and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are being targeted at an increased rate. Of current SMBs, 43% lack a cybersecurity plan.
The US Federal Trade Commission, in a recent 6-month period, had seen over 128,000 phone-based fraud scams that cost victims a whopping $108 Million – that’s only half a year!
