Why Your Company Needs a Breach Scanner (Even If It's Small)

"That hacker stuff only happens to big companies." It's one of the most dangerous phrases in cybersecurity. The reality is that 43% of cyberattacks are directed at small and medium-sized enterprises. And most are not prepared.

SMEs: the favorite target

Why do attackers prefer SMEs over large corporations?

  1. Less defenses — Many SMEs don't have a firewall, business antivirus, or security policies
  2. Same valuable data — Customer data, suppliers, invoices, bank accounts
  3. Lower response capacity — Without a security team, the response is slower
  4. Domino effect — A compromised SME can be the gateway to larger companies in its supply chain

What is a business breach scanner?

A business breach scanner allows:

  • Check all domain emails against breach databases
  • Detect compromised credentials of current and former employees
  • Receive alerts when a corporate email appears in a new breach
  • Evaluate the overall risk of your organization's exposure

Real cases: when the breach isn't yours but affects you

Your company may have the best security in the world, but if an employee:

  • Used their corporate email to sign up on LinkedIn (and LinkedIn was hacked)
  • Reused their corporate email password on a forum (and the forum was attacked)
  • Signed up for a SaaS service that suffered a breach

...then your company's credentials are compromised, even though the fault isn't yours.

The cost of not acting

| Concept | Estimated cost for an SME | |---|---| | Downtime | €1,000–10,000 / day | | Forensic investigation | €5,000–20,000 | | Notification to affected parties (GDPR) | €2,000–5,000 | | AEPD fine | Up to €20M or 4% turnover | | Reputational damage | Incalculable | | Loss of customers | 20-30% in the following 6 months |

A breach can cost an SME between €10,000 and €100,000. Many don't recover.
