Cyber Attacks Increase by 59%, Is Your Small Business Safe?

Small business awareness of digital security keeps increasing. But this increased awareness leads cybercriminals to adapt. And this includes launching stealthier methods of attack. The SiteLock 2019 Website Security Report says these criminals now focus on quieter attacks. But that doesn’t mean they have decreased. Because attacks increased by 59% for 2018. And by December 2018 the number of attacks peaked at 80 per day. Data shows an average of 62 for the whole year. So small business owners must try to stay continually informed. And they must make it as hard as possible for hackers. SiteLock says its report should, “Help website owners understand today’s attack surface, enabling them to make educated and proactive decisions about their website security in the future.”
