Better Cybersecurity Cuts SMB Attack Rates (2025)

Small Businesses Are the #1 Target

Cybercriminals specifically target small and medium-sized businesses because they often lack the resources and expertise to defend themselves effectively. The average ransomware attack costs $400,000 or more—money most SMBs don’t have.

CGA removes the financial barrier to defense, so your business can focus on growth, not vulnerability.
