Cyber Security: Why Small Businesses Can’t Afford to Ignore it

Are you worried about cybercrime?

When people think of cybercrime, they often imagine big corporations or government agencies under attack like the recent M&S attack or the Co-Op security breach. But the reality is small businesses are just as much a target — often more so.
