Why should SMBs care about social engineering? SMBs are increasingly aware that they are targets for cybercriminals, according to a 2019 survey conducted by Zogby Analytics on behalf of the US National Cyber Security Alliance. Almost half (44%) of companies with 251 to 500 employees said that they had experienced an official data breach within the past 12 months. The survey found that 88% of small businesses believe that they are at least a “somewhat likely” target for cybercriminals, including almost half (46%) that believe they are a “very likely” target.
