While large-scale attacks such as WannaCry make headlines, ransomware attacks are just as likely to happen among small businesses as they are large enterprises. According to Datto’s 2017 Ransomware Report, an estimated five percent of SMBs globally fell victim to a ransomware attack in 2017.
Eighty-six percent of IT managed service providers (MSPs) said their SMB clients have been victimised by ransomware, with 21 percent reporting six or more SMB attacks in the first half of 2017 alone.
