1. Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) Becomes More Accessible
2. Phishing and Business Email Compromise (BEC) Attacks
4. Compliance Gaps and Third-Party Risks
3. Shadow IT and Cloud Misconfigurations
5. IoT and Physical Security Integration Risks
🔐 Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) Becomes More Accessible
Why It Matters to SMBs:
Ransomware attacks have exploded in recent years — and 2025 is poised to be even worse. Cybercriminals no longer need technical skills to launch attacks; they can now rent ransomware kits on the dark web.
SMBs are often perceived as “low-hanging fruit”
Downtime from ransomware can cripple operations
Cyber insurance providers are tightening coverage for unprepared businesses
