The horrific invasion of Ukraine by Russia has brought with it a higher likelihood of cyberwarfare resulting in an increased focus on cybersecurity. A natural reaction by owners of businesses, particularly small businesses, may be to conclude that the invasion of a country 4,700 miles away cannot impact the security of the information they gather and store.

Thus, now is the time to rethink these conclusions, as no one is immune from cyberattacks from any place at any time.
