If you’ve been watching the news on recent #cyberattacks and wondering what they mean for your business, you’re not alone.
This recent article by ACP’s Christopher Dean underscores the ongoing operational challenges and financial impacts faced by these organizations. It raises the question of whether small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) could also be vulnerable to cyber attacks, providing three key lessons for #SMBs:

2.) Statistics show that #cybercriminals are increasingly targeting small businesses, with potentially devastating financial consequences.
3.) SMBs hold valuable #data that can be exploited, and they often lack the security resources of larger corporations.
