Introduction: Cyber Attack on a Small Business
Cyber attacks are an increasingly present reality in our digital lives. In recent years, the number of cyber attacks has increased significantly, affecting both large and small. In this article, we will explore what happens during a cyber attack and how you can protect your business.
What happens during a cyber attack?
A cyber attack can start in different ways, but usually involves exploiting a vulnerability in the business’s computer system. This can be done through a phishing email, malware, or a vulnerability in the software used. Once the attacker has penetrated the system, he can access sensitive data, steal sensitive information, or even take control of the entire system.
