Small businesses, representing companies with fewer than 500 employees, represent 99.9% of all employers in the UK1, and 99.7% of US employers2. As such, they are a substantial economic driver, and can be considered part of the critical national infrastructure, meaning that their security readiness is a significant issue. As a leader in the campaign to secure companies of all sizes against cyber attack, Web security company Webroot undertook a survey to help increase the understanding of small to medium-sized business (SMB) security awareness and readiness. Webroot sampled businesses across the US, the UK, and Australia, and used responses from organisations of various sizes to help gauge the security stance of SMBs in context.
