“Getting Hacked” and “Ransomware” are not questions of “if.” It’s a question of “when.” And if you’re a small- to mid-sized business, you’re 80% more likely to be hacked than your big business friends. In fact, only 6% of businesses that suffer a major data loss manage to survive for the long haul. SIX PER CENT!!! Protecting your data can literally save your business.
Here are some scary facts to make you hungry:
Last year, ransomware cost US small businesses upwards of $75 billion in downtime. That’s last year alone!
97% of IT service providers predict that these attacks on businesses will increase significantly in the next 2 years.
9 out of 10 IT service providers report recent ransomware attacks on small businesses.
In the first 6 months of 2016, 60% of IT service providers reported 1 to 5 ransomware attacks on small- and mid-sized businesses. Fully 40% reported 6 or more attacks. And 31% reported multiple ransomware attacks against small- and mid-sized businesses in a single day!
Small- and mid-sized businesses are the easiest targets because they are largely unprotected and unsecured.
Cryptolocker is the most common strain of ransomware, reported by 95% of IT service providers.
Come on, how bad can a ransomware attack be for a small- and mid-sized business?
63% report a ransomware attack lead to business-threatening downtime.
48% report critical data loss as a result of an attack.
Only 6% of businesses that suffer a major data loss manage to survive for the long haul.
Are you feeling lucky?
According to US Department of Homeland Security and the majority of IT service providers surveyed, the #1 solution for ransomware protection is a rock-solid backup and disaster recovery solution.
