It’s a staggering statistic: one in seven cyber security attacks is made on small businesses. And according to the CEO of the Small Business Association of Australia, Anne Nalder, the situation is likely to worsen.
With an average cost per attack of $36,000, it is prudent for small business owners to shore up their security, but perhaps more importantly, train their staff. Anne emphasises the necessity for small business owners and their staff to stay updated and vigilant, advising them to be cautious of opening unfamiliar emails or engaging with suspicious phone calls. She underlines the need for proactive measures and a tech-savvy approach to protect against cyber threats.
