Discussion on impacts of small business.

In both of these documents it gives very detailed information on small businesses and how they don’t have a program and showed the statistics of SMBs that was affected by this issue. In small businesses fifty percent of them have been victims of this issue and 60 percent of them have gone out of business do to the issue. With a Cyber security program for a small business is costly but at the same time the cost of having a plan in places protects you in the long run longer because you wont have hackers taking information from you and wont be one of the 60 percent that went under. The recommended place where they should put there limited funds is putting a Cyber security program like life lock or computer security systems that will run checks for malware, viruses, etc. This will be a start for a business because if you didn’t have something like this in place and you would have a Cyber attack you can be looking at 9 thousand to 22 thousand dollars worth of damage per incident. So its always good to have a program in place no matter if it is a cheap system to start out or the top of the line products and you protect yourselves for the long haul.
