Why Cyber Security Matters for Small Businesses in Darwin
As a small business owner in Darwin, your focus is on growth, customers, and operations. But in today’s digital age, cyber security should be at the top of your priority list. Whether you’re a tradie using a tablet, a clinic managing patient records, or a startup handling sensitive customer data, your business is a target — even if you think you’re too small to matter.
The Myth: “Hackers Only Target Big Companies”
That’s simply not true. In fact, over 60% of cyber attacks in Australia now target small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Why? Because smaller businesses often lack the advanced protections that larger firms have, making them low-hanging fruit for attackers.
