Cyber-Attacks Can Happen, But They Don’t Have to Happen to You

by | Oct 31, 2019 | Cybersecurity

According to the 2019 Ponemon Institute’s Global State of SMB Cybersecurity report, 76 percent of respondents in the US said their companies had a cyberattack in the past year. Out of those incidents, did you know that the top methods of attack weren’t a stolen device or a cracked password? They were the result of phishing campaigns, web-based attacks and general malware. In plain terms, sneaky emails that look authentic, legitimate yet compromised websites and planned broad scale malignant software were the causes of most cyberattacks.
