Why Small Businesses Need Cyber Insurance

In today’s digital landscape, even the smallest businesses rely on technology—for online sales, customer data, and internal operations. But with each connection comes risk. A single cyberattack can lead to financial losses, legal trouble, and lasting reputational damage.

Small Businesses Are Prime Targets

Hackers see smaller companies as “low-hanging fruit,” often with weaker defenses and valuable access to larger partners through supply chain links.
