By Dick Weisinger

No one and no business is safe from attacks by cyberhackers.  But because of their size and much deeper pockets, big businesses have had more available funds to spend on security.  Small and mid-size businesses are less likely to be able to dedicate either much money or time toward security,and that can be unfortunate.

  • Lack of expertise
  • Lack of information and timing
  • Lack of time
