Most thought they were too small to be worried
A new study by Sectigo, the “State of Website Security and Threat Report”, reveals that 20 per cent of SMBs have experienced a breach in the past year alone, even though nearly three-fourths believe their companies are mitigating risks effectively.
The new report details this perception gap, along with methods and frequency of SMB website attacks, the impact of breaches, security technologies in use, and expected website security spending for 2021.
In its inaugural State of Website Security and Threat Report, Sectigo surveyed more than 1,100 website security decision makers at SMBs and found that a significant number of businesses do not feel they are vulnerable to online threats, with 48% of respondents indicating that their business is “too small to be the target” of an attack.
Half of SMBs surveyed have experienced a website breach at some point, with 20% reporting a breach in the last 12 months. Yet half perceive their business as too small to be the target of a cyberattack, and 73 per cent believe they are effectively mitigating risks.
