The short answer to the question of whether or not your business is at risk for cybercrime is an emphatic yes. The long answer is that you’re probably more likely to be attacked than you even realize. Armorcrest Insurance Services understands how devastating cybercrime can be for business owners of San Diego and El Centro, CA.

Hackers Are Everywhere 

In the days before computers, businesses mostly had to worry about immediate threats in their neighborhood. It makes sense that owners aren’t usually thinking about hackers who live millions of miles away trying to steal their customers’ financial information. But to cope with the reality of cybercrime, you need to understand that there is an untold amount of risk out there for everyone who has ever been online. 

Virtual Crime Is On the Rise 

It’s easy for criminals to commit cybercrime — probably far easier than you realize. Hackers don’t have to have advanced degrees or scientific genius. It can be as easy as buying a cheap skimmer device and setting it up on a credit card machine. Small businesses are exceptionally enticing for small-time crooks because they don’t have the same precautions as larger companies do.
