Think You’re Too Small to Be Hacked? Think Again.
When you think about your small business, you probably think about your customers, your team, your products — not hackers.
I used to feel the same way… until a client of mine got hit with a ransomware attack. Just a small local shop, nothing fancy. But one click on a suspicious email — and their entire system was locked. They couldn’t access their invoices, customer records, or even their website. It shut them down for days.
And the worst part?
They didn’t have cyber insurance.
“But I’m a Small Business... Why Would Anyone Target Me?”
Here’s the thing: hackers love small businesses because we don’t always have the same defenses as big companies. We’re busy running the day-to-day. We don’t have IT teams or fancy security software. That makes us easier targets.
If you:
Store customer info (like names, emails, or payment details)
Take payments online or use digital tools to run your business
Communicate by email or use cloud-based apps
… then you’re already at risk.
What Happens If You're Hit?
A cyberattack doesn’t just mess with your tech — it can stop your entire business. You could lose income, face legal headaches, and have to spend thousands recovering data or notifying affected customers.
That’s where cyber insurance steps in.
Here’s What It Can Help With:
✅ Lost income from downtime
✅ Customer notifications and credit monitoring if info is stolen
✅ IT support to restore your systems
✅ Legal fees if you’re sued
✅ Ransom payments (yes, that’s a thing)
✅ Reputation repair if your name gets dragged through the mud
It’s Like a Digital Safety Net
Cyber insurance won’t stop the bad guys — but it’ll help you get back on your feet if something goes wrong. And for most small businesses, it’s surprisingly affordable.
