Cyberattacks on websites occur 172 times every day, or eight times per minute. Non-Content Management System (CMS) sites are 39 times more susceptible than WordPress sites, according to new research conducted by Sectigo - a global provider of digital certificates and automated Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM). Cyberattacks of all types – notably automated ones – are on the rise for SMBs, mostly due to an increase in bot traffic.

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are grappling with bot traffic that now accounted for 5.5 times more than human traffic in 2021, compared to 2020 – 2,306 weekly average bot visits per site. Furthermore, the volume of human visitors reduced, indicating that criminal actors are scaling their attacks and targeting unsuspecting SMB website owners with bots.

When choosing an IT provider, IT decision-makers place the highest value on security (45%), price-quality ratio (31%) and privacy (28%). The location of data storage is only a top three argument for one in eight (13%) IT decision makers when choosing a cloud provider. This emerges from research among Dutch IT decision makers conducted by data center operator BIT, a colocation provider from the Netherlands.

Seven out of ten (72%) IT decision-makers say that they have stored data of their organization (partially) in the Netherlands. If organizations store their data outside of this country, it is most often in another country within the European Union (18%), followed by European countries outside the European Union and the United States (both 8%).
