RELIABLE PARTNERSHIP

Tackling the Cybersecurity Challenges Faced by Your Small or Medium Sized Business
Recent cybersecurity studies reported that only 14% of small and medium sized businesses are prepared for a cyber attack. As a result, these organizations have become a primary target of malicious actors. A successful cyber attack may result in a loss of your business’ confidential or personal data, or a ransomware attack that renders your technology inoperable. Either of these attacks likely will result in massive dollar amounts of lost revenue and regulatory fines, an inability to operate your business for extended periods of time, and the erosion of trust in your brand. For most small and medium sized businesses, this likely leads to bankruptcy.
Your partnership with Malcom Risk Advisors offers an affordable solution to the above challenges and can help keep you in business when you find yourself in the crosshairs of a cyber attacker.
