New Research from AppRiver Reveals SMBs Severely Underestimate the Damaging Consequences of Successful Cyberattacks

▤ Summary

The threats are very real and the stakes are incredibly high, but there are simple ways to make startups and early stage companies much harder targets.” The quarterly AppRiver Cyberthreat Index for Business Survey measures SMB decision-maker attitudes and experiences across a variety of cybersecurity-related dimensions, culminating in a score that can be analyzed for change over time. For the first time since the surveys inception in Q1 2019, the Q3 Index score tipped over the 60-point mark, registering at 60.5 on a 100-point scale and indicating a trend of higher alert among SMBs as compared to Q1 and Q2 of 2019. “In the wake of major cybersecurity crises this year – from American Medical Collection Agency breach to the continual hits we’ve seen on local governments in places like Maryland, Florida, and most recently, Texas – it’s not surprising that most small businesses and the public at large are increasingly concerned,” said Troy Gill, manager of security research at AppRiver. AppRiver is headquartered in Gulf Breeze, Florida and maintains offices in Georgia, Texas, New York, Canada, Switzerland, and the U.K. For more information, please visit www.appriver.com.
