Dynamic Business Technologies is your HunterNet Security partner of choice. Our team is based locally here in the Hunter Region (Lake Macquarie). We are available to assist with any questions or concerns you have with your current IT environment.
We get asked a lot from local businesses – Do we have enough security? Do we have the correct security? Do we have any Security at all?
If you have questions like these – we can help.
In today’s digital landscape, cybersecurity is no longer a luxury for small businesses but a necessity, regardless of the industry. We often think that hackers are after the big corporations and brands, but the unfortunate reality is that hackers are after everyone. Often small businesses are more profitable than larger corporations as they tend to invest little to nothing on their cybersecurity – making them easy targets.
But don’t take our word for it. What do the statistics have to say about cybercrime? Let’s get to basics.
There were nearly 76,000 reports of cybercrime in Australia in 2022, marking a 13% increase from the previous year.. Small businesses are not immune, with 43% of cyberattacks targetingbusinesses with less than 30 employees. Statistics like these would make you think SMEs would be prioritising their cybersecurity – but alarmingly, nearly half of Australian SMEs spend less than $500 annually on cybersecurity. This is not enough to be safe.
The cost of not investing in your cybersecurity can be much greater than the cost of investing in it in the first place. In 2021, the cost per cybercrime reached over $39,000 for small businesses, $88,000 for medium-sized businesses, and exceeding $62,000 for large enterprises,
The cost of a breach is not only in terms of efforts to recover the data and information stolen, but also in terms of reputational damage with your customers, suppliers and stakeholders. This damage can be long-term and can be more difficult to recover than the immediate fiscal impact of mitigating a breach.
