Cybercriminals Don’t Just Target Big Businesses

Many small and medium-sized businesses believe cybercriminals only focus on large corporations. Unfortunately, that misconception can leave businesses vulnerable. The reality is simple: There is no such thing as too small to be targeted, any business connected to the internet is a potential target, regardless of size or industry.

At Plus One IT, serving businesses throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, we see firsthand that cyber threats are no longer selective. Today’s attacks are often automated, scanning for weaknesses wherever they exist — and small to mid-sized businesses are frequently in the crosshairs.

Why Small and Medium Businesses Are at Risk

Cybercriminals are not always looking for the biggest payoff; they are often looking for the easiest opportunity. Many SMBs lack the resources or internal expertise to maintain strong, proactive IT security.

Common risk factors include:

• Outdated or unpatched systems

• Lack of real-time threat monitoring

• Inconsistent or untested data backups

• No dedicated IT team overseeing security and performance

Even a single vulnerability can lead to downtime, data loss, and long-term damage to your business reputation.

Managed IT Services: Proactive IT Support You Can Rely On

Managed IT services give small and medium-sized businesses access to enterprise-level technology support without the cost of maintaining an in-house IT department.

With Managed IT Services from Plus One IT, your business benefits from:

• Continuous monitoring and maintenance of systems

• Regular updates and security patching

Instead of reacting to problems after they occur, managed IT services focus on preventing issues before they impact your operations.
