Are Micro Businesses in the Dark Over Cybersecurity?

Small businesses are a huge part of the British economy as in 2017 for example, there were 5.7 million businesses in the UK, 99% of which were small or medium sized enterprises (SMEs) employing fewer than 250 people.

Around 5.5 million (96%) of these were micro-businesses, employing fewer than nine people each. These smaller businesses account for 33% of employment and 22% of turnover nationwide.
