Myth: Only big companies get hacked.
Myth: Small businesses don’t attract cybercriminals.
Key Takeaways:
Small businesses saw nearly double the cyberattacks in early 2025 vs same period last year.
Over 60% of identity attacks involved stolen or compromised credentials; phishing & cloud abuse surged. Guardz report.
These threats don’t wait until you’re big enough—they hit where defenses are weakest.
Too many business leaders believe that “we’re too small to be a target” but the latest Guardz SMB Threat Report proves otherwise. Small and medium businesses have nearly twice as many weekly cyber incidents in 2025 as they did last year ([prnewswire.com](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/small-business-cyberattack-surge-attacks-nearly-double-in-2025-guardz-reports-302560327.html)). Ransomware, credential theft, phishing, and cloud exploits are now daily risks even for businesses that don’t think of themselves as tech-heavy. Crucial defenses like strong password practices, identity protection, and up-to-date backups aren’t just nice to have—they determine whether your data survives a breach.
Let’s double-check that your SMB’s security is built for today’s threats.
