Small businesses are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals due to their lack of cybersecurity expertise and resources.
The dark web offers easy access to cybercrime-as-a-service tools, making it cheaper and simpler to launch attacks on small businesses.
AI-powered tools are being used to scale attacks, tailor phishing lures, write malware, and evade detection, posing a significant threat to small businesses.
To protect themselves, small businesses should prioritize employee training, use AI-powered security tools, invest in cyber insurance, and consider partnering with managed service providers.
