5 Cybersecurity Threats Businesses Should Watch Out for in 2016

From phishing attacks to new and creative malware to infected laptops, cyber-crime is globally growing at an alarming rate. These cyber criminals are not just targeting the blue chip companies and large corporations as the media reports. According to Symantec, 43 percent of cyber-attacks in 2015 targeted small-to-medium sized businesses with around 250 to 500 workers. Experts forecast a continuation of this trend in 2016 with the global cybercrime industry growing to $600 billion a year. The weak cyber security protocols of these businesses make them easy targets. They also offer access to larger corporations and the government who are their clients.
