The idea that a smaller business flies under the radar is comforting, common, and completely wrong. Attackers chase whoever's easiest, not the famous names, and 43% of cyber attacks in Australia land on small and medium businesses.
You're not being ignored. You're being picked, because smaller businesses tend to have weaker controls, older devices, shared passwords, and untested backups.
Why smaller businesses are attractive
- Fewer security layers to get through
- Less oversight watching for trouble
- More trust and habit than real controls
The "too small" mindset is the real vulnerability. And for a small team, one system down hits far harder than it ever would a corporate.
