Cyber Attacks Cost Small Businesses $53,987 on Average, Survey Claims

Cybersecurity remains one of the most challenging issues for small business owners. And the problem leads small business owners to seek out managed service providers to present them with solutions.But a new report from Continuum says the state of cybersecurity among small businesses in 2019 still needs to improve. The data suggests great opportunities for service providers who offer cyber security as part of their package. And predicts troubles for those who don’t.The reason MSPs are so important for small businesses is many providers offer a one-stop shop for all things IT. However, some providers don’t include cyber security. And as the report reveals, SMBs are holding MSPs accountable when a security breach takes place, whether they provide security solutions or not.
