# Cybersecurity One-Pager Content **Target:** Small Business Owners (5-50 employees) **Format:** Front/Back 8.5" x 11" **Last Updated:** 2026-02-01 --- ## FRONT SIDE: THE THREAT LANDSCAPE ### Title **Cybersecurity for Arizona Small Businesses: Why You Can't Afford to Wait** ### Section 1: The Myth vs. Reality **MYTH:** "We're too small to be targeted" **REALITY:** - **43% of cyberattacks target small businesses** (Verizon DBIR) - **60% of small businesses close within 6 months** of a major breach - **Average breach cost: $120,000-$200,000** for small businesses - Hackers use automated tools that target vulnerable systems regardless of company size **Why Small Businesses?** - Easier targets than enterprises (weaker security) - Valuable data (customer info, financial records, credentials) - Often lack IT security expertise - Less likely to detect attacks quickly --- ### Section 2: The Top 5 Threats Facing Tucson Businesses #### 1. RANSOMWARE - Your Files Held Hostage **What Happens:** - Malware encrypts all your files (documents, photos, databases) - Attackers demand $10,000-$50,000 payment in cryptocurrency - Even if you pay, no guarantee you'll get files back - Business operations halt completely **Real Example:** - Tucson medical practice, 2023 - Ransomware encrypted patient records - $40,000 ransom demanded - 2 weeks of downtime - Total cost: $85,000+ (ransom + recovery + lost revenue) **Statistics:** - 1 in 5 small businesses hit with ransomware (Cybersecurity Ventures) - Average ransom: $31,000 (but rising) - 46% of businesses pay the ransom but don't get full data back --- #### 2. PHISHING ATTACKS - The Employee Email Trap **What Happens:** - Employee receives email that looks legitimate (bank, vendor, CEO) - Email contains malicious link or attachment - One click = stolen credentials or malware installation - Attacker gains access to systems, email, financial accounts **Real Example:** - "Your invoice is ready" email to accounting department - Employee downloads "invoice.pdf" (actually malware) - Attacker steals bank account access - $47,000 wire transfer to fraudulent account **Statistics:** - **95% of all breaches start with phishing** (IBM Security) - Average organization receives 10+ phishing emails per employee per month - Only takes ONE click to compromise entire network --- #### 3. BUSINESS EMAIL COMPROMISE (BEC) - The CEO Fraud **What Happens:** - Attacker spoofs CEO or vendor email address - Sends urgent wire transfer request to accounting - Employee follows "CEO's orders" and wires money - Funds transferred to offshore account and disappear **Real Example:** - Arizona construction company, 2024 - "CEO" emails CFO: "Need immediate wire transfer for supplier" - $125,000 sent before fraud discovered - Money never recovered **Statistics:** - **BEC attacks cost businesses $2.4 billion annually** (FBI IC3) - Average loss per incident: $120,000 - 80% of losses are never recovered --- #### 4. UNPATCHED SOFTWARE - The Open Door **What Happens:** - Software vendors release security patches monthly - Unpatched systems have known vulnerabilities - Hackers scan for vulnerable systems and exploit them - Automated attacks require zero skill **Real Examples:** - **WannaCry (2017):** Exploited unpatched Windows systems, affected 300,000+ computers, caused $4 billion in damages - **NotPetya (2017):** Unpatched accounting software, $10 billion global damages **Statistics:** - **60% of breaches involve unpatched vulnerabilities** (Ponemon Institute) - Average time from patch release to exploit: **7 days** - Average small business patch lag: **30-60 days** (or never) --- #### 5. INSIDER THREATS - The Disgruntled Employee **What Happens:** - Former employee still has system access - Disgruntled employee sells credentials - Negligent employee falls for phishing - Contractor overstays access permissions **Real Example:** - Phoenix retail company, 2023 - Fired IT contractor still had admin access - Deleted customer database and backup files - $200,000 in recovery costs, lost customers **Statistics:** - **34% of breaches involve internal actors** (Verizon DBIR) - 60% of organizations don't revoke access within 24 hours of termination - Average cost of insider incident: $484,000 --- ### Section 3: The True Cost of a Breach **COST BREAKDOWN (Typical Small Business Breach):** | Cost Category | Range | |--------------|-------| | **Forensic Investigation** | $10,000-$50,000 | | **Legal Fees** | $15,000-$100,000 | | **Notification & Credit Monitoring** | $5,000-$20,000 | | **Lost Productivity** | $25,000-$100,000 | | **Lost Revenue (downtime)** | $50,000-$500,000 | | **Regulatory Fines (HIPAA/PCI)** | $50,000+ | | **Reputation Damage** | Unquantifiable | | **Customer Churn** | 25-40% of customers | **TOTAL TYPICAL BREACH COST: $120,000-$1,240,000** **Hidden Costs:** - Increased cyber insurance premiums (200-400%) - Lost business opportunities (RFPs requiring security certifications) - Employee morale and turnover - Management time dealing with incident (hundreds of hours) --- ### Section 4: Warning Signs You're At Risk **Check ALL that apply:** -
