3. Growing cybersecurity threats, small businesses are vulnerable to security issues

Many small to medium-sized companies do not take cybersecurity seriously and do not spend money for it, which is causing more damage. The risk of cyberattacks on small businesses is already higher than that of large businesses and has increased dramatically over the past few years.
