Report: SMBs Ripe for Cyber Attacks
McAfee (News - Alert) has released the results of a survey, which showed that small and medium-size businesses think their revenue is “too low to draw the attention of cyber criminals.” However, according to McAfee, the possibility of cyber attacks is high among SMBs, since their cases are less likely to be brought to the attention of law enforcement organizations such as the FBI. McAfee said that it is vulnerability of these organizations, not the amount of wealth or data, which make them the easy target of attackers. The findings come from a survey conducted on 500 SMBs in the United States and Canada. Last year, McAfee conducted a similar survey on 600 SMBs in Europe and derived almost the same results. According to McAfee, there are approximately 7.4 million SMBs in North America, a significant figure to pull cyber criminals more towards them.
