Should My Small or Medium Business Get Cyber Security?

FAQ’s, tips and insights > Cyber Security

What makes cyber-criminals focus on SMBs?

Small and medium businesses sit in a “sweet spot” for attackers—valuable data but often weaker defences than enterprise. In 2025 the ACSC reported that WA organisations under 100 staff suffered the highest rate of ransomware events per capita. Think phishing-led invoice fraud, business-email compromise and credential stuffing against Microsoft 365 tenants.

Antivirus alone won’t cut it

Today’s malware morphs faster than signature files. An effective stack layers EDR (endpoint detection & response), MFA, secure email gateway, immutable cloud backups and 24 × 7 SOC monitoring—all tied together by hardened Essential Eight settings.
