Small businesses are at risk
Hackers know that most smaller organizations are not prepared for network security breaches, making them popular targets for cyberattacks.

You have what they want
Small businesses are attractive targets because they have information that cybercriminals want, but they typically lack the security infrastructure of larger businesses.
Personal Data
Small companies collect data, such as medical records, credit card information, social security numbers, bank account credentials or proprietary business information, that is easy to offload for a profit on the dark web.
Computing Power
Cybercriminals can attack businesses through company computers and IoT devices and recruit them into an army of bots to perform massive DDoS attacks.
Access a Larger Threat
This is what happened in the Target breach, which resulted in 40 million stolen credit and debit cards. Hackers accessed the retail giant’s system through a subcontractor that provided refrigeration and HVAC systems.
Cold Cash
Money is a powerful motive, which is why ransomware has become such a popular method of attack. The average cost of a ransomware attack on a business today exceeds $133,000.
Firewalls & antivirus software aren’t enough
Vulnerabilities can be managed only if they have been discovered and identified. Vulnerability scans are typically required quarterly or monthly, depending on the cybersecurity framework being followed.
60% were breached due to an unpatched known vulnerability where the patch was not applied
62% claimed they weren’t aware of vulnerabilities in their companies prior to a breach
A limited IT budget shouldn’t mean limited security
Our vulnerability scanning solution is available for organizations of any size and is affordably priced.
