Research undertaken in 2016 found that the average annual incident cost of a cyber-attack is £7.2 million ($9.5 million), an increase of 21% over the previous year and unfortunately 60% of small businesses that suffer cyber-attacks go out of business within six months.

With advances in operating system, application, and network security, cyber-attacks are changing. In fact, research reveals more than 50 percent of cyber security professionals reported at least one incident of malware-infected firmware in 2016.
