Cyber Crime
One of the most common and impactful crimes against small business is cybercrime. You should regard your online presence and electronic devices as being as susceptible to crime, if not more so, than your physical property. Cybercriminals can devastate your livelihood from the comfort of their own homes, and this invisible enemy can steal your personal details, those of your staff and customers, and of course your money.
Cybercriminals make a career from businesspeople taking their eye off the ball with their cyber security. If your antivirus measures are lax, or if you are not as vigilant as you could be when opening emails or clicking on links on your devices, then you could lose your customers and your reputation in a second!
