The internet has become an invaluable tool for small businesses, opening the door to a wide range of previously unheard-of possibilities. Unfortunately, as e-commerce continues to grow, so does the number of bad actors looking to exploit hard working entrepreneurs. Cybercrime is on the rise. According to RiskRecon, data breaches at small businesses globally in 2020 and 2021 increased by 152% when compared to the previous two years.

The good news is there are ways you can protect your business and employees from cyberattacks. The SBA and its resource partners are committed to helping you stay prepared and proactive in the event that cybercriminals target your business.
