Cybercrime in SMEs is a growing concern. SME’s dependency on IT and Internet has opened the door to vulnerabilities to cybercrime. These vulnerabilities are making information security a critical issue for all SMEs. Tackling cybersecurity threats and attacks is becoming more and more important in the European Union and worldwide.
