Small Businesses Ignore Peril of Cybercrime

Rene Millman writes on IT Pro News:

New research finds that small companies in Europe don't think that they're a prime target for cybercrime.

Nearly half of small companies think that cybercrime is an issue for larger enterprises, according to a new survey.

The study of 600 IT managers in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) across Europe found that 47 per cent of respondents assumed that they were too small for criminals to bother attacking them.
