Every 39 seconds, another cyberattack hits somewhere in the world. Ransomware gangs are making headlines for crippling hospitals, AI-powered threats are getting more sophisticated by the day, and practically every business from your local coffee shop to Fortune 500 companies are realizing they're potential targets. The old days of thinking "we're too small to be noticed" are over. With the global cybersecurity workforce shortage reaching over 3 million unfilled positions, companies aren't just looking for cybersecurity professionals anymore, they're desperately hunting for them.

Hackers no longer target only the large players. In fact, cyberattacks on small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are becoming increasingly prevalent, with greater accuracy, frequency, and impact. Whether you operate an e-boutique or an offshore-first marketing firm, cyber threats are pounding at your virtual door-and they're not knocking, they're demanding entry. So, what's new? And why are SMBs now such tempting targets? Let's get to the bottom of it.
