Cyberthreats are becoming more dangerous every year. Cybercriminals are not only becoming more successful at stealing the data of large companies but also those of small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) because of their security negligence.

But while those threats are imminent, we at USWired believe that it's never too late to start protecting your businesses from threats such as malware, phishing, and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.

Cybercriminals successfully launched ransomware, phishing, anattacks on businesses in 2019. And it will be more difficult to stop them as they constantly improve their methods to steal more confidential business data.

According to Gartner’s forecast, worldwide spending on cybersecurity is expected to reach $170.4 billion in 2022. This is due to security leaders striving to bolster their organizations' security with technology that drives growth and keeps data secure.

Cybercrime is a lucrative business, and this is why cybercriminals continue to devise new techniques to trick individuals and businesses into handing other money or confidential information, which they can then exploit or sell on the dark web.

One of the most common techniques that cybercriminals use is malware.

Business email compromise (BEC) scams have been increasing in prevalence and creativity over the past few years. For such a relatively low-tech kind of financial fraud, it has proven to be a lucrative scheme for scammers and it is not going away anytime soon.

The world of cybersecurity can be pretty confusing, and the endless news about hackers, malware, and data breaches aren’t helping businesses understand it any better. This leads many users to believe in many exaggerations and fallacies. Some think that believing in myths is harmless, but if it actually costs you your precious data and hard-earned revenue, it can be significantly damaging.
