Misconception 4: “Darryl – I hear of ransomware and cyberattacks on the news everyday, nothing is 100% guaranteed, there is no point to even bother!”

Hi Small Business Owners, welcome to this edition of "Lies they Believe", and "The Truths, I Know"

In this video we'll uncover a common cybersecurity misconception I hear when I speak to Small Business Owners.

"Number 4 - Darryl - I hear of ransomware and cyberattacks on the news every day, since nothing is 100% guaranteed, its just a matter of time, there is no point to even bother!

"But you see, that just isn't the truth.  The TRUTH IS, most cyberattacks target the "low hanging fruit".

This is why defence in depth is so important, implementing multiple layers of security that make you a harder target.

You see, most successful cyberattacks exploit the weakest link in security, human error - for a quick payday.

Now.....As the saying goes, when being chased by a bear, you don’t need to outrun the bear, you just need to out run the slowest person your with.

Folks, Cybersecurity is no different, make yourself a difficult target so they move onto easier prey.
