🔴 MYTH: "We are too small to be targeted by hackers."
🟢 TRUTH: Small businesses are the preferred target — not the overlooked ones.
Cybercriminals use automated tools that scan thousands of systems at once. They are not looking for the most interesting target.
They are looking for the easiest one.
And small businesses — with fewer security measures, less IT support and busier owners — are exactly that.
The most common ways hackers get into small SA businesses:
📧 A phishing email that looks like it is from a supplier or bank
🔑 Weak or reused passwords — still the number one vulnerability
💻 Software that has not been updated in months
📱 Personal phones used for work without security controls
🔓 No two-factor authentication on business accounts
Average cost of a cyberattack on a small SA business?
Between R50 000 and R500 000.
Cost of basic protection? A fraction of that. Every month.
