American small businesses have generated sixty-four percent of net new jobs over the past fifteen years,
helping to lead our nation’s innovation and economic growth. In a rapidly evolving virtual marketplace,
where each cyber attack costs small and medium sized businesses an average of nearly $200,000,
business owners must vigilantly protect against information security risks that result in billions of dollars
in lost revenue. However, many businesses continue to struggle to understand and implement available
solutions.
