The $100,000 threshold: Why cyber threats have officially replaced inflation as the #1 SMB fear
Inflation hurts. But a single breach can break a business.
For many small and mid-sized organizations, $100,000 isn’t a headline: it’s the line between “we’ll recover” and “we might not.” Ransomware, wire fraud, and downtime can stack up fast: response costs, lost revenue, legal exposure, reputational damage. All at once.
Think of your business like a ship. Inflation is rough water. A cyberattack is a hole below the waterline.
Fortify before it floods:
• Lock down admin access (MFA + least privilege)
• Patch critical systems without delay
• Backup like you mean it (tested, immutable, offline-ready)
• Train your team to spot “treasure hunt” phishing
