SMEs now find themselves on the front line when it comes to cyberthreats. Considered easy targets by cybercriminals, they suffer increasingly sophisticated attacks with potentially devastating consequences. What are the cyber issues for these companies? How can they protect themselves?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Multiple threats with serious consequences<\/b><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to an analysis of 385,000 cyberattacks in France in 2022, each incident costs the affected companies an average of 59,000 euros<\/span>[1]<\/span>. SMEs are penalized twice over: they suffer immediate financial damage while facing a loss of trust from their customers and partners.<\/span><\/p>\n

This reality affects many medium-sized structures that thought they were \u201ctoo small\u201d to interest hackers. According to BPI France, VSEs, SMEs and mid-caps represent 37% of the victims of cyberattacks, and strategic companies 12%<\/span>[2]<\/span>. The consequences go far beyond the simple direct financial cost, with business interruptions that can last for several weeks and a lasting impact on reputation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cyberattacks increased by 15% in 2024 according to ANSSI.<\/span>[3]<\/span>\u00a0The main threats include phishing,\u00a0<\/span>ransomware<\/span><\/a>, denial of service attacks, exploitation of unpatched vulnerabilities and threats related to removable media.<\/span><\/p>\n

The often underestimated danger of USB drives<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Among all the threats, that of removable media is, paradoxically, one of the most neglected. However, 37% of cyber threats<\/span>[4]<\/span>\u00a0have been specifically developed to spread via removable storage media.<\/span><\/p>\n

A simple USB key can compromise a company’s entire information system in a matter of seconds. Production can be completely paralyzed after an employee connects an\u00a0<\/span>infected USB key<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to a control station, and can lead to considerable financial losses.<\/span><\/p>\n

This threat is all the more worrying in a context where employees frequently use their own devices to transfer work files.<\/span><\/p>\n

SMEs and cybersecurity: how to protect yourself?<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Faced with these multiple threats, SMEs must implement a comprehensive defense strategy tailored to their business. What are the right steps to take?<\/span><\/p>\n
