Less than four years ago, a Juniper Research study estimated that cybercrime would cost businesses $2.1 trillion globally by 2019.
By 2017, they had increased their predictions to a whopping $8 trillion cost by 2022, when they surmised that 5 billion personal data records would be stolen.
By 2018, they increased their predictions to 12 billion stolen records, and they forecasted that 33 billion records would be stolen in 2023 alone.
Their research also repeatedly states that the U.S. will experience more than half of all global cyberattacks.
Here’s the chilling takeaway for all those numbers: cybercrime is on the rise, especially for U.S. businesses, which means it’s time for you to secure your company. SWK Network Services is here to help with an in-depth ebook, “The Essential Cybersecurity Toolkit for SMBs.” Download your copy of the ebook now.
