There are two things that have increased exponentially over the last year: the digitization of the economy, and online cybersecurity threats. Although the latter may seem intimidating, they should not discourage entrepreneurs from transforming or launching their digital businesses, as long as they have the right tools and partners to help protect their business and customer data.

The cybersecurity industry reported that there were 14 billion attempted cyberattacks in Mexico during 2020. In addition, it estimated a 72% increase in these types of attacks in 2020 compared to 2019. Unfortunately, MSMEs are not exempt from this type of attacks; in fact, 83% of cyber attacks that occurred in the first half of 2020 were directed at micro, small and medium-sized companies.
