According to a recent survey conducted by McAfee, many small and medium sized businesses felt they were too small to be of any value to cyber criminals. When in fact, 92% of respondents rely on the Internet for much of their business, and most average SMBs dedicate only one hour a week to IT security. If a business does become a victim of a cyber crime attack, on average, it can take an entire week to get their business back up and running.
