Cybercrime is “a crime where a computer or device is the object of the crime or is used as a tool to commit an offence.” The offender may use a device to gain access to the targeted user’s personal details, confidential business information, government data, or to disable a device. Selling or eliciting the content mentioned above online is also considered a cybercrime.
Over the past few years there has been a significant increase in cyber crime targeted at the SME market. There are two factors contributing to this rising epidemic. First, is the rise of crypto-currencies, which has enabled anyone in the world to be paid a sum of money without being identified or held accountable (e.g. ransomware). Second, is the increased focus on security by the enterprise sector, meaning that targeting a large number of small businesses has become far more effective than attacks aimed at high-security large companies.
Cyber security is an ever-evolving technology and as our systems become more accessible on the internet, we are more vulnerable to attacks of cybercrime. We are seeing an increase in cybercrime targeting businesses, particularly in the healthcare sector.
