On today’s SBAM Weekly Podcast, Michael Rogers talks with Dave Kelly, Co-Founder and CTO of SensCy, based in Ann Arbor. “We've seen over the last year a 424 percent increase in cyber attacks against small businesses,” Kelly says. “This is a trend that's been increasing over time. The media are not going to do stories on the small mom and pop store down the shop or down the street, or the 30 person manufacturing company. They're looking to do stories on large publicly traded companies because of the impact. So it's sort of lulled us into a false sense of security that I must be too small to be attacked because I'm not hearing about it in the news media.”
