The Truth About the Real Impact of SMB

Website Breaches

By Ed Giaquinto, CIO at Sectigo

You’ve set up your website, you’ve brushed up your digital strategy, and you’re finally ready to shift your focus
to other priorities—but did you remember to lock up?

If you’re like many small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMB) website security decision-makers, you may

of 1,100 SMBs to understand better the role websites play in each business, the degree of risk these sites
represent, and how prepared SMBs are to secure them. Let’s take a look at what the data says about the
impact of website breaches. Disclaimer: this is not for the faint of heart!
