Over the last several years, the number of large cybersecurity events in the news has grown exponentially. If you take a look at the website Information Is Beautiful, you can see graphically how data breaches have spiraled out of control. In 2009, they reported just ten data breaches. In 2024, there were more than 100 major data breaches. Most recently, we've seen huge entities such as AT&T (183 million), United Healthcare (110 million) and Ticketmaster (40 million) experience widespread data breaches with more than 300 million records exposed.
Hackers aren't just interested in these corporate behemoths. Small and mid-size companies have become the prime targets for data breaches for the simple fact that they have fewer resources to spend on security measures, and their IT departments are spread thinly, dealing with issues in their businesses. Have you ever stopped and thought about what would happen if a hacker breached your business? What kind of damage could they do? The ripple effect can be devastating for a small or mid-size business. With that in mind, here are a few ways that a data breach could severely impact your business.
