So, 60% of small companies are out of businesses? I think not. What you need to ask yourself is: what is considered a 'cyber attack'? Is spam a cyber attack? What about phishing? What about your DNS provider being DDoSed? Ransomware? Macros? -- Companies are hit by these daily, and not only do they stay in business, many times (most?) they don't even notice the 'attack'. As it turns out, almost NO companies have ever shut down because of a breach. DigiNotar did, as did a couple others, but it's rare.
- benologist 10y agoI think you're prematurely declaring victory - the severity and scale of attacks is still growing, and there's probably many companies out there with no or untested backup/disaster recovery plans, or one computer holding vital data, etc. Not all the attacks can be shrugged off easily either - like the big one on Sony, or ransomware that's cost organizations $1,000s or $10,000s.
