Cybersecurity attacks are one of the most common and harmful impacts on businesses around the world. Some of these attacks can cost companies billions of dollars. These attacks are aimed at the companies’ different records like health and financial information. With an attack, companies can lose more than just money and records. They can lose customer base and reputation. The business can be shut down for good in some cases. If businesses invest in a cybersecurity plan, this will allow them to have a plan in order and be prepared for an attack before it happens. With a plan, different companies can develop their own type of plan that differently works with their ideals. A plan is also important because it allows a company to recover from an attack. An attack is very hard to recover from even with a plan and some companies are never recovered fully. Without a plan, companies become a bigger target for an attacker.
