Cybersecurity is increasingly vital for businesses and individuals, earning the top spot-on a global business risk barometer and in operators’ minds. Hospitality operators and small business owners might have placed a lower priority on cybersecurity in the past, but it’s now time to re-thing that approach. Small businesses account for 43% of cyber attacks annually and 46% of cyber attacks were small businesses with 1,000 or fewer employees. On average, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) lose $25,000 due to cyber attacks.
