How Hackers Target Your Business

Think your small business is too insignificant for cybercriminals?
Think again. A staggering 43% of all cyber attacks specifically target small businesses, and the numbers reveal why: hackers see you as the easier target.

The reality is sobering:
  • Over half of small businesses operate with zero cybersecurity protection.
  • 82% of ransomware victims are companies under 1,000 employees—with 37% having fewer than 100 staff.
  • 6 out of 10 small businesses hit by cyber attacks permanently close within six months.
  • Small companies face malicious emails at nearly triple the rate of large corporations.

Join David Hunt, a former government cybersecurity specialist and founder of a Reading-based IT security firm, as he pulls back the curtain on how cybercriminals really operate. This eye-opening presentation will reveal:
  • Why hackers specifically hunt small businesses
  • The actual methods they use to infiltrate your systems (yes—we will hack!)
  • Practical, affordable defenses you can implement immediately
You'll walk away with actionable strategies—from free tools to simple process changes—that can dramatically reduce your risk and make your business a harder target. Don't become another statistic.
