Your business collects and stores various data: personal information about you and your employees, or information about your customers, partners, clients, and suppliers. All of this business data makes you a good target for a data breach. Someone unauthorized might have an interest in stealing your intellectual property, or financial information in a cybersecurity attack.


This serious potential issue can come from many different sources. From professional cybercriminals, to your own employee who answered a phishing email at a moment of inattention. And - it happens often. Reports say that 50% of small businesses have experienced data breaches during the period between 2015 and 2016.


Whether it came internally or from an attack, a data breach is a serious issue and can have a devastating impact on your business. You need to learn how to guard against cybercrime.
