Highlighting the Crisis: Small Businesses as the Primary Target
—
Small businesses now represent prime targets for automated, financially driven threat actors. Hiscox’s Cyber Readiness Report reveals that 80% of small enterprises encountered at least one cyberattack during 2025, while data from the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) shows that small and medium-sized entities suffer roughly 4 times more confirmed data breaches compared to large enterprises.
Additionally, research gathered by StrongDM and VikingCloud indicates that 47% of companies with under 50 employees spend zero on cybersecurity, even though system downtime costs small firms an average of $53,000 per hour, and 40% report that a $100,000 attack would compel them to close operations.

• Flexible Coexistence or Standalone Program: Works seamlessly as an AI-native risk layer on top of current tools like Vanta, Drata, or OneTrust to consolidate risk registers, or serves as a complete out-of-the-box independent security program for first-time purchasers.
