Cybercriminals target SMEs as large companies beef up security

Cybercriminals are focusing their attacks on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as larger organizations invest in cybersecurity measures. Hacker groups like Lockbit, BlackCat, and Akira are increasingly targeting SMEs in healthcare, retail, and manufacturing. Attacks on SMEs in India have significantly increased, with almost half of all incidents occurring in 2023. While only 10% of attacked large organizations paid ransom, 44% of SMEs paid amounts ranging from $25,000 to $100,000. The impact of these attacks can be devastating for SMEs, who struggle to recover financially and reputationally. Improved cybersecurity measures are necessary for protecting against prevalent threats.
