Think You’re Too Small to Be Hacked? Think Again.

When cyberattacks make headlines, it’s usually the big players—banks, government agencies, and global corporations—that grab the spotlight. But behind the scenes, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are quietly becoming the prime targets for cybercriminals.

Why? Because hackers see SMBs as low-hanging fruit—easier to breach and less likely to have the tools in place to defend themselves.

At Tekie Geek, we know the dangers all too well. We’ve helped countless SMBs recover from data breaches, phishing scams, and ransomware attacks—many of which could have been prevented. That’s why we deliver enterprise-grade cybersecurity solutions designed specifically for small businesses—affordable, scalable, and built to grow with you.

Why SMBs Are Easy Targets for Cyberattacks

Cybercriminals are strategic. They’re not always after the largest businesses—they’re after the most vulnerable. And too often, that’s a small business without the right protections in place.

Here’s why SMBs are at risk:

• Limited IT resources: Many small businesses don’t have dedicated cybersecurity personnel.
• Outdated tech: Older systems or unpatched software are an open invitation for hackers.
• Lack of employee training: Phishing emails, malicious links, and social engineering succeed when employees don’t know what to look for.
• Assumption of safety: Thinking “it won’t happen to us” is one of the most dangerous misconceptions.

In fact, nearly 43% of all cyberattacks are now aimed at small businesses.

What a Cyberattack Can Cost Your Business

You might think a breach is just a temporary setback—but the ripple effects can be devastating:

• 💸 Financial losses from ransomware, fraud, and downtime
• 🔐 Loss of sensitive data, including customer and employee information
• ⚖️ Compliance violations if you handle protected data (HIPAA, PCI, etc.)
• 😔 Reputation damage that leads to lost clients and partnerships
• ❌ Business closure—studies show 60% of small businesses shut down within 6 months of a major cyberattack

Tekie Geek has seen it firsthand. That’s why we’re here to make sure your business doesn’t become another statistic.
