Whether you are a startup, a small business or a big corporation, you’ll have to deal with cyberthreats sooner or later.
A few stats:
- In 2022 only, 66% of small and medium businesses suffered a cyberattack, which cost an average of $170,000 per incident.
- In 2023, attacks against small business rose by 42%.
- During the same year, startups fell victim to a ransomware attack every 11 seconds, and that number will increase to one every 2 seconds by 2031.
But you can train your team and get ready. The sooner the response, the less damages done.
Your team is your first line of defense. With serious games and regular training sessions, you’ll spread best practices, raise awereness and lower the risk of a breach.
Many tools can also be added to your arsenal, from automatic patch management to TEEs, zero-trust infrastructure, etc.
