The saying amongst security professionals is, 'there are two types of organizations: those which have been infiltrated and those which have been but do not know it yet.
The UK government Cyber Security Survey discovered that 40% of small businesses and 28% of micro had recognized an attack or breach in 2019.
That survey also found that this had amplified from 33% of small firms and 17% of micro-businesses just three years before.The extent to which businesses get affected depends on the type of attack.
For the most part, this kind of attack causes no lasting harm.
