There is always a dilemma in the minds of businessmen, whether they need cyber security or not. Some businessmen feel that their organization is too small for any cybercrime to affect them. That's where they go wrong. No business or organization is too small to stay safe from cyberattacks. Cyberattacks can happen at any level, small, medium or large-sized business. They aren't just limited to big MNCs.

According to a survey, 1,792 security breaches were reported in 2016 that led to a loss of 1,378,509,261 records. The recent Yahoo and Equifax Breach affected millions of accounts. It's not necessary that data theft or security breach can happen at such a big level only. There are thousands of other cybercrimes that are not highlighted at such a huge level, but the damage is equally devastating.

Cybercriminals who attack small or medium sized organizations, usually do it by stealing small amount of data, monetizing it and then hitting the organization again. These attackers also have the skills to block access to your official mail accounts or steal financial information or password protect your important data. There is no limitation to cybercrime.
