If you're a small business, then you're well aware of how reliant it is on technology. What would happen if your technology was no longer working? Worse, what would happen if you no longer controlled your own technology?
This reliance also makes you vulnerable to cyber threats and technical misconfigurations. According to a report by Verizon, 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses, and 60% of these businesses close within six months of a cyberattack. Additionally, a survey by the National Small Business Association revealed that 44% of small businesses have experienced a cyberattack.
These statistics highlight the critical need for robust IT support and cybersecurity platform your business can scale with. IT PROTECT is a comprehensive IT support and cybersecurity platform designed to create a smooth and secure environment that your business can scale with.
