Cybersecurity Awareness Month<\/a> may be drawing to a close, but it’s time for businesses to get active with their cyber awareness \u00a0on an ongoing basis to protect their employees, data and assets from ongoing hazards. With cybersecurity threats like ransomware, cryptomining and malware lying in wait, the internet can be a scary place to do business. And while hacks into vast, global corporations\u2014like the cyberattack<\/a>\u00a0on Under Armour earlier this year \u2014make a big splash in the news, the truth is small and medium-sized businesses are actually the most at risk with small businesses representing 58 percent of malware attack victims.<\/p>\n

\"Close-up<\/a><\/p>\n

Fortunately, cybersecurity technology solutions are available to protect businesses caught in the digital crosshairs. If your company makes proactive investments and preparations\u2014such as cybersecurity training\u2014to protect sensitive information, you can greatly reduce your risk.<\/p>\n

Is your team trained to handle social engineering attacks? Is everyone in the company invested in protecting your network? If you\u2019re not sure, check out this list of reasons why your business should bone up on cybersecurity training as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

Why Your Business Needs Cybersecurity Training<\/h3>\n
Hacks are costly<\/em><\/h5>\n

From customer and client restitution to cleanup and data recovery, the aftermath of a cyberattack can be a financial knockout. At a whopping $4 billion<\/a> in lost stock market value, the 2017 Equifax data breach was not only the most costly cybersecurity attack of the year, but one of the most fiscally damaging attacks in history.<\/p>\n

Cyber crime is costly. The annual cost to the U.S. from cyber crime attacks in 2018 added up to $27.37 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you are caught lacking in the cybersecurity department, you can at least take solace in the fact that you\u2019re not alone. Google and McAfee estimate there are 2,000<\/a> cyberattacks every day around the world, costing the global economy about $400 billion.<\/p>\n

Your brand could suffer<\/em><\/h5>\n

Beyond the initial loss of dollars and cents, a preventable\u2014and therefore embarrassing\u2014cyberattack can leave your company\u2019s face dripping with proverbial egg.<\/p>\n

According to an Alva Group<\/a> study, data breaches can not only lead to stock losses, but also customer dissatisfaction and loss, as well as lengthy, public probes from regulatory or government bodies. All in all, it\u2019s not a good look.<\/p>\n

Attacks are getting worse<\/em><\/h5>\n

Cyberattacks are not only getting more severe, they\u2019re also becoming more sophisticated, according to\u00a0small businesses<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Beyond the familiar nefarious phishing email that we\u2019re all familiar with by now, cyber criminals have added new techniques to their arsenal, which allow them to sneak past security, deploy malware, and gain control over unwitting companies\u2019 computer systems. Experts call these types of attacks \u201cfileless,\u201d and they\u2019re on the rise.<\/p>\n

In fact, experts predict\u00a0a third<\/a> of all attacks in 2018 will be fileless, as well.<\/p>\n
