摘要
COVID-19 has resulted in cyberattacks that have caused many businesses to lose monetary assets,damage their reputation,and reduce revenue.From a broader perspective,the coronavirus crisis already provides a large surcharge on Internet traffic.Most people use it not only for shopping by default but also as a serious communication channel.In addition,there is more evidence of attempts to insert malicious code,use external suppliers and outsourced technologies,create greater threats and more vulnerabilities.Through effective IT security and protocols,active management strategies,and continuous evaluation of the company’s system,small business owners can continue to do business and protect against a potential cyber attack on the company’s network.The implications of positive social change by informing managers about the results of the study are(a)preventing or reducing cybercrime,(b)protecting customer information,and(c)preventing future breaches by implementing effective social strategies.
