Cyber threats and data breaches aren’t just problems for big corporations anymore—**small and medium-sized businesses** are now prime targets. In fact:

- **43% of all cyber breaches** target small businesses.
- **Over 60% of small businesses experienced a cyberattack last year**.
- The **average cost of a data breach for a small business in 2025 is between £95,000 and £980,000**, and some incidents exceed £1.2 million.
- **60% of small businesses close within six months of a severe cyberattack**.

These numbers show why cybersecurity is no longer optional—it’s essential for survival.

To make things easier, Microsoft has launched **three new add-ons for Microsoft 365 Business Premium**:

- **Microsoft Purview Suite for Business Premium**
- **Microsoft Defender and Purview Suite for Business Premium**
