Encryption is incredibly helpful to keep networks and infrastructure secure, and it can do the same for your email solution. In fact, it is likely required to ensure the secure transfer of critical and sensitive information.

Encryption, in its most basic textbook definition, converts your readable data into an indecipherable jumble that can only be reassembled through the use of an encryption key. Small businesses absolutely must utilize encryption to protect customer information, financial records, and other important or sensitive business data. This ensures that it is as protected as possible against those that might do you harm.

There were a handful of dangerous threats 15-20 years ago, but the majority of online threats mostly just bogged down your computer or got in your way. Fast forward to today, and things are a lot different. Cybercrime is a lucrative industry, and cybercriminals (and scammers in general) treat their work like a business. The average person experiences about one scam every waking hour, whether at work or at home, so it’s more important than ever to understand what you are up against.

That’s just how much money the criminals made off with—not the cost of the damages they caused, or the estimated value of the collective information that was stolen, the loss of productivity, the cost of scrambling to get back to normal, and everything else that comes with a cyberattack. **Small and medium-sized businesses NEED to take cybersecurity seriously.** This article aims to shed light on the impending cybercrime wave.
