Why Cybersecurity Matters for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses (SMBs): A Guide for C-Suite

### The Misconception of Security Through Size

One pervasive misconception is that smaller businesses are less likely to attract cybercriminals’ attention. However, data proves otherwise: cybercriminals often see SMBs as easy targets precisely because they may lack the extensive defences of larger enterprises. Small and medium businesses hold valuable data, including customer information, financial records, and intellectual property, making them prime candidates for attacks such as phishing, ransomware, and business email compromise.

Navigating the Shadows: Dark Web Marketplaces and Their Impact on Business Security

The Dark Web is a segment of the Deep Web, inaccessible through standard web browsers like Chrome or Safari. Instead, it requires special software such as the Tor (The Onion Router) browser, which anonymises user activity by routing it through multiple servers. While the Deep Web houses non-indexed content like academic databases or medical records, the Dark Web hosts a distinct group of hidden sites. Its marketplaces are notoriously associated with illegal trading, raising unique challenges for businesses and law enforcement.

Biometric Spoofing: A Growing Threat to Cyber Security

In today’s cyber age, biometric authentication has emerged as an easy way to verify ID. By leveraging unique human characteristics such as Iris, palm prints, and facial patterns, it can provide a more authentic alternative to traditional passphrase-based authentication. However, as biometric technology advances, so do its associated threats. One of the biometric systems’ most significant challenges is the risk of spoofing or presentation attacks.

Biometric or presentation spoofing involves using fake biometric details to double-cross the authentication systems. By presenting a counterfeit biometric sample, an attacker can evade security measures and gain unauthorised access to sensitive information or resources. The prevalence of biometric spoofing has increased in recent years, making it a critical concern for organisations of all sizes, particularly those that rely heavily on biometric technology for security.
