Many businesses don’t think a data breach will happen to them; small businesses especially assume they’re too small to attack. However, Tower’s Feb. 19 cybersecurity webinar featured a survey that showed that 11% of very small businesses and 44% of midsized organizations experienced a data breach in the last 12 months. A quarter of these companies had to file for bankruptcy, 10% went out of business entirely. See Nancy Grover’s excellent coverage of the webinar for workerscompensation.com.
