Cyberattacks are often designed to gain access and control or destroy files and systems within a computer network, for personal or financial gain.
Small and medium businesses are increasingly at risk often due to their lack of data protection. Cybercrime is constantly evolving, with attacks becoming more sophisticated and even harder to prevent.
