Growing trend for Cyber Attacks

Glenwood Brokers • July 5, 2021

Cyber risks are becoming one of the most prominent exposures and are fast gaining momentum worldwide.

A cyber or cybersecurity threat is a malicious act that seeks to damage data, steal data, or disrupt digital life in general. Cyber-attacks include threats like computer viruses, data breaches, and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. A single exposure could wreak havoc, especially for a small business who are proving to be the most vulnerable. As seen from previous instances involving big businesses, they have the necessary resources to deal with such an attack as quickly and seamlessly as possible with little interruption to their daily business actions.
