According to a recent survey, a quantification of the damages from security breaches suffered by SMEs in the UK indicates that the damage can be well above €100,000. Despite this, over 85% of SMEs “do not have any plans to increase their budgets for security implementation, and less than 13% are working with a third party vendor to protect themselves”4.
