A good cyber security strategy should be built on firm foundations. As the sermon goes, you can’t build your castle on sand and expect it not to sink. Any organisation can be targeted by cyber criminals. However, SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) are at higher risk of being hacked than their larger counterparts. Criminal hackers know that larger organisations are better protected, whereas SMEs often lack the resources to protect themselves against evolving cyber threats.
