How Hackers Target Your Business

Think again. A staggering 43% of all cyber attacks specifically target small businesses, and the numbers reveal why: hackers see you as the easier target.

The reality is sobering:

• Over half of small businesses operate with zero cybersecurity protection.
• 82% of ransomware victims are companies under 1,000 employees—with 37% having fewer than 100 staff.
• 6 out of 10 small businesses hit by cyber attacks permanently close within six months.
• Small companies face malicious emails at nearly triple the rate of large corporations.

Join David Hunt, a former government cybersecurity specialist and founder of a Reading-based IT security firm, as he pulls back the curtain on how cybercriminals really operate. This eye-opening presentation will reveal:

• Why hackers specifically hunt small businesses
• The actual methods they use to infiltrate your systems (yes—we will hack!)
• Practical, affordable defenses you can implement immediately

You’ll walk away with actionable strategies—from free tools to simple process changes—that can dramatically reduce your risk and make your business a harder target. Don’t become another statistic.
