No Cyber Coverage Can Mean Big Monetary Loss
Data breaches and network security failures happen. In fact, IBM reports more than 91 million security events per year. According to a recent study done by Kaspersky Lab, small and medium sized businesses stand to lose an estimated $38,000 in direct losses to recover from a cyber-attack, and roughly $8,000 in indirect expenses to prevent such incidents from happening again in the future. In their studies, they found that nearly 90% of businesses admitted to security incidents. Of that group, 46% claimed to have experience some type of data loss. The leading cyber threat experienced by businesses? Malware.
Your Credibility Can Take a Hit
The monetary loss doesn't even begin to hit on another detrimental factor a cyber-attack can mean to your business - client loss. Once your business has been targeted and suffers a cyber-crime, your client's personal information has been compromised. This means that not only is your business's finances at risk, but so is your client's. This can be extremely detrimental to a business's reputation. Once it becomes known to current clients that you've experienced a cyber-attack and their personal information has been compromised, you run a high risk of losing those clients. You run an even bigger risk of losing opportunities to building future relationships with outside consumers you haven't worked with yet.
