That usually comes down to - who are your adversaries? Parent implies that given enough money, high value targets can be compromised for less money than conventional military arsenal.
For an average individual, small company dealing with non-sensitive data - preventing non-targeted attacks is likely high priority e.g. Preventing your applications, data from getting compromised because its vulnerability was detected in the random scan of the attacker (or) your staff plugged in a flash drive with ransomware.
Some simple non-exhaustive preventive measures are - Operational Security(Training staffs to not click unwanted links, social engineering attacks(not to reveal too much about their work online, Better identity management etc.) Application Security(Ensuring security focused application development, keeping up-to date with the patches for libraries etc.), Collecting less customer data as possible(Ensuring customer privacy).
