THE PROBLEM

 

Small-to-medium sized businesses (SMB's) are now the leading cause of data breach victims, with over 58 percent of all victims resulting from an SMB breach.

​

Did you know?

​

  • Data breaches cost businesses $233 per lost or stolen record.

  • Two-thirds of small businesses fail to act following a cyber security incident.

  • 16.7 million Americans fell victim to ID Theft in 2017, the highest number ever recorded!

  • 66% of small businesses that experience a data breach go out of business within 12 months. 

​​

In addition, the current regulatory landscape is not maintaining pace with rapidly changing technologies.  Businesses face a gauntlet of 50 different state breach notification laws, which are changing at an unprecedented pace leaving even diligent small businesses unable to stay current with this patchwork of laws with varying levels of protection required. 

​
