ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michimich -- Do you own a small business?

Did you know that your business's email is the easiest way to hack your company?

If your business has between 10 and 50 employees, email is probably the most important tool you use every day. It is also, by far, the biggest cybersecurity risk facing small businesses today.

Most owners assume cybercriminals go after large corporations with massive budgets and sensitive data. In reality, small businesses are often easier targets. Attackers know that smaller organizations rely heavily on email, use cloud platforms like Microsoft 365, and usually lack dedicated security staff.

Phishing emails, fake invoices, and compromised accounts don't require breaking into servers or exploiting complex systems. All they need is one person to click a link, open an attachment, or reply to a message that looks legitimate.

For small businesses, this risk is amplified because:

• Employees often wear many hats and work quickly
• There is less formal security training
• Email accounts are tightly connected to file storage, accounting systems, and vendor relationships

Once an attacker gains access to a single mailbox, they can move laterally, impersonate users, and quietly gather information.
