When we hear about massive companies making headlines for cyberattacks or data breaches, it’s easy to think, “Well, that won’t happen to me—I’m just a small business.” But the truth is, cybercriminals are counting on that exact mindset.
Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) often assume they’re “too small” to be a target. They juggle endless tasks, have limited cybersecurity training for staff, may only use 2FA on a few accounts, and might not have formal cyber policies or AI-driven protections in place. This makes them a perfect target: minimal defenses, limited response time, and potentially devastating consequences if an attack succeeds.
Why Small Businesses Are at Risk
Cybercriminals don’t just target large corporations—they look for easy access points. With weak security measures, small businesses can become low-effort, high-reward targets. Even if a breach wouldn’t be critical for a multinational company, it can severely impact a small business, sometimes even threatening its survival.
A survey conducted by the Business Development Bank of Canada revealed that many SMBs still lack essential cybersecurity policies and tools. Most attacks stem from:
Phishing emails – messages with urgent requests, attractive deals, or “you’ve won” notifications.
Malware – infected files or attachments saved to your computer.
