Cyber risks are real for small and medium-sized enterprises
80 percent of registered cyberattacks target small and medium-sized enterprises. Increasing digitalization makes them more vulnerable.
Cyberattacks, including ransomware and data theft, are no longer an abstract threat but a tangible, existential reality for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Breaches can lead to prolonged operational downtime and severe reputational damage.
SMEs, particularly in skilled trades, are rapidly increasing their digitalization efforts, making them more susceptible to cyber threats. According to the German Insurance Association (GDV), approximately 80 percent of registered cyberattacks are directed at SMEs, many of which may lack robust IT security measures.
