It’s easy to believe cybercriminals are only after the giants. Big companies. Big payouts. But here’s the reality: small businesses are easier. Quieter. More trusting. And hackers know it.
They aren’t just chasing headlines, they’re chasing easy wins.
When you're shopping around for an IT provider, you ask about response times. You ask about certifications. Maybe even their cybersecurity tools. But here’s the question most businesses don’t ask:

That old tech you’re clinging to? It’s cozy. Familiar. Feels like an old sweatshirt you never want to throw away. But while you’re feeling safe, hackers are feeling lucky. Because what’s familiar to you is also predictable to them, and predictable is dangerous.
