In Croatia, the situation is even more pronounced: Cyber risk has risen to First place It's the biggest threat to domestic companies.
Of particular concern is the fact that small and medium-sized enterprises Increasingly frequent target attacks. Hackers know well that small businesses often do not have enough resources, knowledge or a special IT department for strong protection, and the consequences can be catastrophic, from several days of business interruption, loss of client base to serious financial damage and loss of trust.
