Myth: “We’re too small to be hacked.” Think again.

Belief: Your small business is ‘too small’ to be targeted. Reality: you are on the frontline.

Key Takeaways:
SMBs saw nearly twice as many cyberattacks weekly in H1 2025 compared to H1 2024. ([prnewswire.com](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/small-business-cyberattack-surge-attacks-nearly-double-in-2025-guardz-reports-302560327.html?utm_source=openai))
Over 80% of breaches involved compromised or stolen credentials. ([prnewswire.com](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/small-business-cyberattack-surge-attacks-nearly-double-in-2025-guardz-reports-302560327.html?utm_source=openai))

If you run a small or medium business you may believe “hackers don’t care about us.” Guardz’s Mid-Year 2025 SMB Threat Report crushes that myth. What they found:

• Weekly attack incidents almost doubled compared to last year. ([prnewswire.com](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/small-business-cyberattack-surge-attacks-nearly-double-in-2025-guardz-reports-302560327.html?utm_source=openai))
• Identity-based attacks rose sharply—password abuse, credential stuffing, MFA bypass among them. ([prnewswire.com](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/small-business-cyberattack-surge-attacks-nearly-double-in-2025-guardz-reports-302560327.html?utm_source=openai))
• Cloud platforms like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace are under intensive attack. ([prnewswire.com](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/small-business-cyberattack-surge-attacks-nearly-double-in-2025-guardz-reports-302560327.html?utm_source=openai))

For someone like Marcus the Multi-Site Manager or Dr. Evelyn Harper this matters deeply. When attacks rise this sharply your operational risk, client trust, licensing standing all get dragged into the open.

Here’s your framework:
1. Lock down identities: password hygiene, multi-factor, least privilege access
2. Harden cloud tools: audit settings, remove unused apps and minimize exposure
3. Partner with a Managed IT provider for ongoing monitoring and quick response

Let’s shift from “maybe not me” to “when and how do I prepare.”
