Canada Cyber Foundry at University of Guelph - Partnerships
Supporting Small and Medium Sized Business (SMB)
Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are indeed at risk for cyber attacks. In fact, SMBs can be particularly attractive targets for cybercriminals due to their potential vulnerabilities and limited cybersecurity measures compared to larger organizations. Here are a few reasons why SMBs are at risk:
- Limited resources
- Lack of expertise
- Valuable data
- Supply chain attacks
- Limited awareness
Understand CCF's role in supporting SMB in cyber prevention.
