It’s 4:59 PM on a Friday—Are You Ready for a Cybersecurity Breach?

Written by Intercity | Oct 14, 2020 2:29:00 PM

Picture this: It’s Friday at 4:59 PM, and everything’s winding down for the weekend. Suddenly, bam! You’re hit with a cybersecurity breach. Do you know what to do next? Most businesses don’t—and that’s a serious problem.

The rise of cyberattacks has been relentless. With phishing, ransomware, and malware running rampant, cybercriminals are exploiting gaps in business security every day. And here’s the kicker: It’s not just big companies getting targeted. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are prime targets too. But here’s the good news—you don’t have to be a sitting duck.

At Intercity, we believe that every business, regardless of size, deserves access to enterprise-level protection. We’re here to make sure that if (or when) a cyberattack hits, you’re prepared, not panicked.

 

Cyber Security Isn’t Just for Big Corporates – It’s for YOU Too

Here’s the truth: Cyber attacks aren’t going away. In fact, they’re getting smarter, faster, and more damaging. In 2024, phishing attempts have surged by 350%, and SMBs are feeling the heat. 90% of malware enters via phishing emails, and the cost of a breach can be devastating—especially for smaller businesses.

That’s where we come in.

Is Your Business Ready for 2025’s Cybersecurity Challenges?

If you’re still thinking of cybersecurity as an afterthought, now is the time to act. Cybercrime isn’t waiting for your business to catch up, and neither should you. Whether you’re a small retail business, a growing tech startup, or anywhere in between, the cost of a breach could put your business at risk.

Here’s the truth: The cost of ignoring cybersecurity is too high. Loss of data, recovery costs, regulatory fines, and even brand damage can be a devastating blow for SMBs.

In 2025, being unprepared is no longer an option.
