“Thanks” in part to the proliferation of AI, cyberattacks against small businesses have been on an exponential rise. Despite the attitude among many small business owners that hackers only go after behemoths, smaller companies make increasingly attractive prey. In fact, certain types of attacks–social engineering attacks, like phishing, for example are much more commonly aimed at small businesses.
