The attacks on large firms dominated the headlines. However, small and medium-sized companies are the more frequent targets of cyberattacks. According to the Federation of Small Business, a UK based group estimates that SMEs suffer an incredible 10,000 attacks per day!

A survey by Manta found that 87% of small business owners do not consider themselves at risk of an attack, which sees fewer efforts towards the implementation of security to safeguard their business.
