🔐 The Real Cost of Cybersecurity for Small Business in 2025
The cost of cybersecurity for small business is no longer just a tech expense—it’s a business survival necessity. Cybercrime is growing fast, and small businesses are often the easiest targets. Whether you run a clinic, a construction firm, or a remote startup, a weak cybersecurity posture can cost far more than proactive protection.
At Hustley, we believe every business deserves scalable, affordable, and easy-to-manage cybersecurity solutions—regardless of size or industry.
💸 How Much Does Cybersecurity Really Cost?
Depending on your business size and IT complexity, the cost of cybersecurity for small business typically ranges from $100 to $3,000+ per month. Here’s what impacts the cost:
- Network protection and firewall management
- Endpoint protection and antivirus
- Backup and disaster recovery
- Employee training and phishing simulations
- Compliance services (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, etc.)
However, the real cost comes from not having cybersecurity in place. One breach can lead to:
- 💰 Financial loss — averaging $120,000 per incident
- ⚖️ Legal penalties and regulatory fines
- 📉 Damaged reputation and customer loss
According to the FTC, small businesses are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals—and many don’t survive the fallout.
❌ What Small Businesses Get Wrong
Many small business owners assume cybersecurity is only for big companies. But the truth is:
- 43% of all cyberattacks target small businesses
- Only 14% of SMBs are prepared for a cyber event
- 60% of small businesses shut down within 6 months of a breach
According to the Federal Trade Commission’s guide to small business cybersecurity, small companies are prime targets for cyberattacks—and most aren’t prepared.
