U.S. economy. According to the FBI’s Internet Crime Report, the cost of cybercrimes reached $2.7 billion in 2020 alone. Small
businesses are attractive targets because they have information that
cybercriminals want, and they typically lack the security infrastructure of
larger businesses. According to a recent SBA survey, 88% of small business owners felt their business was vulnerable to a cyber-attack. Yet many businesses can’t afford professional IT solutions, have limited time to devote to cybersecurity, or they don’t know where to begin. Start

vulnerable, and taking steps to improve your cybersecurity. For
