Up to 43% of cyber attacks are aimed at small and medium-sized businesses

Up to 43% of cyber attacks are aimed at small and medium-sized businesses

Last year, up to 40% of small businesses reported data loss as a result of a cyber attack, causing them significant operational disruption, financial loss, reputational damage and customer churn due to concerns about the security and protection of their personal data.

Most SMB owners are not considered an attractive target for hackers and cyber security threats due to their size. They often believe that the target of cyber attacks are government organizations or large businesses. Hackers do not discriminate according to the size of the company. On the contrary. They consider small and medium-sized enterprises to be very attractive targets mainly due to their vulnerability, relatively weaker security infrastructure, and the fact that they are part of the supply chains of larger enterprises.

Hackers are also using small and medium-sized businesses to improve their hacking practices, with the intention of stealing employee and customer records, bank account information and access to corporate finances, opening the door to bigger fish. This fact is also confirmed by the Accenture Cybercrime study, which reveals that up to 43% of cyber attacks were aimed at small and medium-sized businesses.

Don't become a statistic

According to the World Economic Forum, human error is the leading cause of cybersecurity breaches. Most often, small and medium-sized businesses are attacked via email. According to Cisco, up to 95% of cyber attacks begin with spear-phishing emails that target employees responsible for finance or managing sensitive personal information.

As reported by smallbiztrends.com, last year up to 40% of small businesses reported data loss due to a cyber attack, causing significant operational disruption, financial loss, reputational damage and customer churn due to security and privacy concerns.

More interestingly, the Ponemon Institute found that up to 60% of small and medium-sized businesses do not have an incident response plan in place or a plan to educate employees on cybersecurity, while employees play an important role in maintaining a secure work environment. Small and medium-sized businesses should regularly organize training sessions to educate employees on best practices, such as recognizing phishing emails, how to avoid suspicious links, or how to report potential security incidents.

Get ready for the mandatory Cyber Era

As technology advances, the risk of cyber attacks will continue to grow. Small and medium-sized businesses must prioritize cyber security to protect their customers, employees and financial stability. The European Union is already aware of this, which introduced a new mandatory directive on network and information systems (NIS2) valid from 16.1.2023 also in Slovakia with the aim of creating a framework for increasing cyber security in various sectors based on the amendment and amendment of the Cyber Security Act and of relevant decrees 69/2018 Coll.

     Based on legislative changes, the scope and number of entities that will have to fall under this law will also be defined. This group will include e.g. companies with more than 50 employees and a turnover of more than EUR 10 million. They can already be inspired by the updated decree 264/2023 and prepare for the given obligations. This includes conducting regular risk assessments, identifying vulnerabilities and taking appropriate risk mitigation measures. In addition, businesses must report significant cybersecurity incidents to relevant national authorities.

Get cybersecurity best practices

Qubit Conference® is already bringing a practical all-day training to Košice on November 9 specially tailored for small and medium-sized businesses, it will help you understand the most important cybersecurity requirements in line with the upcoming legislative measures and provide practical guidance for their immediate implementation.

The introduction to the training will go over the legal context for statutory security frameworks and standards, and show why to follow the framework and why not ad-hoc. It will reveal where cyber security begins, clarify the concept of cyber hygiene. Subsequently, he will reveal what you really need to invest in and thus avoid mindlessly spending money on ineffective security solutions, but also how today it is possible to optimize the use of social networks so that you do not leave unwanted traces in the digital space and prevent unwanted hacker attacks on your business. In conclusion, the training will clarify that the incident should not be feared, but should be prepared for in order to minimize losses. You will learn how and why to back up data at all, how to communicate an incident, how to learn from it and where to seek help.

Hackers attack small and medium-sized businesses

Hackers attack small and medium-sized businesses

Small and medium-sized businesses that do not embrace the digital age will be at a competitive disadvantage to those that do. However, this move into a modern and innovative future also has its challenges. How, then, to protect your business in the digital world and ensure its continuity?

Unfortunately, small and medium-sized businesses in Slovakia and the Czech Republic often do not address the risks associated with their online presence. This opens the door to hacker attacks, which can lead not only to damage to a company's reputation, but also to problems that can ultimately lead to the collapse of the business. And that's certainly something you don't want. Fortunately, there is also someone on the home front who can lend a helping hand.

Cybersecurity without stress – FREE webinar

Qubit Conference® is organizing a FREE webinar called Cybersecurity without stressin cooperation with Edenred Slovakia. The webinar will take place on September 13, 2023 at 2:00 PM. This online webinar is intended for small and medium-sized businesses that want to improve their cybersecurity standards, protect their businesses, and ensure their continuity in the years to come.

The webinar Cybersecurity without stress will provide up-to-date insights from the world of cybersecurity and present effective strategies that can protect businesses from hacker attacks, password breaches, and data leaks. Their subsequent implementation will lead to more efficient and secure business operations, as well as a significant improvement in the company's reputation.

The number of places is limited. So don't hesitate to register for the FREE webinar Cybersecurity without stress todays!

Small and medium-sized businesses are at risk

43% of all cyberattacks are targeted at small and medium-sized businesses. Why are these businesses so vulnerable?

There are several reasons. Hackers target them primarily because they are vulnerable and exploit their cybersecurity ignorance. Such companies often do not have the resources – both financial and human – to pay enough attention to cybersecurity.

Many business owners, especially in Slovakia and the Czech Republic, do not even perceive the threats of cyberattacks. They do not see it as a problem and therefore carelessly neglect cybersecurity. Unfortunately, if a risk does occur, it is usually too late.

Cyberattacks on small and medium-sized businesses often have a fatal impact on their operations and in many cases such companies end up. The result is financial losses, laid-off employees, and in the worst cases even legal problems. However, this can be prevented when you invest time and energy into cybersecurity awareness.

Viruses, stolen passwords, and leaks of sensitive data

Neglecting cybersecurity opens the door to viruses, trojans, stolen passwords, and leaks of sensitive data. In many cases, there is nothing that can be done about it. For example, with ransomware, hackers will encrypt all of your files on your storage device and demand a ransom that often does not even help. This is how many companies have lost all of their data, especially if they did not back it up.

Stolen passwords and leaks of customer data are especially sensitive. These increase customer outrage, damage the company's reputation, and can even lead to legal consequences.

The truth is that the best defense is prevention. And the first step can be the online webinar . Cybersecurity without stressSo don't hesitate, register for FREE and protect your business.

Inno4scale: Innovative Algorithms For Applications On European Exascale Supercomputers

Inno4scale: Innovative Algorithms For Applications On European Exascale Supercomputers

Inno4scale is a European initiative, which was started to support the development of innovative algorithms for exascale supercomputers, so their efficient use can be fully exploited. Currently existing codes for high-performance computing will not be able to function efficiently on upcoming exascale systems in the future. Therefore, the project will identify and support the development of applications that have the potential to fully exploit the new upcoming EuroHPC exascale systems. The most successful application will be taken up by science and industry after the project.

The objective of Inno4scale is to support the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, whose goal it is to achieve the deployment of Exascale supercomputers in Europe. As part of the project, the development of novel algorithms for applications on upcoming European Exascale supercomputers will be efficiently exploited. Used in public administration or industry these supercomputers will be able to solve previously unaffordable computational challenges. Industry, science, as well as public administration will then be able to reduce their time-to-solution for computational simulations and approach larger problems with novel solutions.

The Inno4scale project started in the beginning of July 2023 and will run for 21 months. Financial support is guaranteed to the project by the use of cascade funding. The project is coordinated by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center. Project partners: SCAPOS, the High-Performance Computing Center of the University of Stuttgart and the PRACE network. A total budget of EUR 4.5 Mio. is available to the project.

You can apply for the Inno4scale Open Call and submit your proposals for the upcoming innovation studies!
