The Growing Threat to Small Businesses in the Federal & DoD Industry
Cybercriminals increasingly target small businesses in the federal and DoD supply chain, knowing they often lack robust security measures.
According to recent reports:
43% of cyberattacks target small businesses, yet only 14% are prepared to defend themselves.
60% of small businesses close within six months of a cyberattack.
In 2023, cyberattacks against government contractors increased by 35%, highlighting the urgent need for compliance with frameworks like CMMC and NIST 800-171.
Common Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities
Small businesses often fall victim to cyberattacks due to avoidable security gaps. The most common vulnerabilities include:
Phishing Attacks – 91% of cyberattacks start with a phishing email, tricking employees into revealing sensitive data.
Weak Passwords – Over 80% of hacking incidents stem from compromised credentials due to weak or reused passwords.
Outdated Software – Failing to apply security updates leaves systems exposed to known vulnerabilities.
