Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have encountered increasing burdens over the last few years, from challenging economic conditions to a dramatically evolving cyber threat landscape. Today, 43% of cyber attacks are targeted at SMEs, and only 14% of targeted SMEs were prepared to handle such attacks. An astonishing 75% of those SMEs attacked could result in permanent closure if unable to recover data.

The impact? According to @Harvard Business Review so-called patent trolls cost defendants an average of $29B per year.
