Why Small Businesses Are Prime Targets for Cyberattacks in 2025

In 2025, cybersecurity threats to small and midsize businesses (SMBs) are more severe than ever. Cybercriminals have shifted their focus away from large enterprises and toward smaller companies—organizations that often lack the advanced defenses and internal expertise to protect themselves. Guardpoint Security understands these challenges, which is why we specialize in helping SMBs strengthen their security posture with affordable, high-impact solutions.

Small businesses are attractive targets because they're often under protected but hold valuable data—customer information, financial records, payment credentials, and more. Many SMBs still rely on outdated antivirus software, don’t use multi-factor authentication, or underestimate the need for employee training. These gaps make them vulnerable to phishing schemes, ransomware, and other sophisticated attacks. And when a breach occurs, the consequences are devastating—not just financially, but in terms of customer trust and operational downtime.

At Guardpoint Security, we’re changing how small businesses approach cybersecurity. As an official Bitdefender reseller, we provide access to world-class tools built for modern threats—without the enterprise price tag or complexity. From endpoint protection and real-time threat detection to fully tailored security strategies, we offer solutions that fit your business, your budget, and your goals.
