As cybercrime reports rise, are small businesses at risk of cyberattacks? If you're not a multi-billion-dollar company, are you still a target?

Unfortunately, the answer is yes.

Cybercriminals don't discriminate by business size. Money is money, after all, and criminals often don't care where they get it.

Cybercrime is on the rise and shows no sign of stopping. If the cybercrime industry were a country, it would be the world's third-largest economy.

However, cybercrime was not always so profitable. So what took cyberattacks from rarities to a common, costly threat? Technology has recently changed in ways that are beneficial to cybercriminals.
