41% of Aussie businesses have endured a ransomware attack
Summary
The B2B software search website’s study surveyed 202 IT specialists to understand the impact of cyber security attacks on small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Software Advice notes that there could be several reasons for this, such as the sudden surge in remote working and, in the case of many SMEs, introducing cloud-based systems into their workflows. It adds that the pandemic saw organisations of all sizes invest in technology and find ways to adapt to remote working. Further, Software Advice also features over 1,000,000 verified user reviews to ensure people feel confident in their technology decisions. “The cost of a cyber-attack goes beyond the price of the ransom, but the good news is that SMEs can protect themselves from threats by implementing an array of security measures,” Software Advice content analyst Laura Burgess says.
