It's not a matter of "if you'll be hacked" it's when! That's sad to say but unfortunately in this day and age, we are faced with some serious vulnerabilities and data breaches. As an individual you're hand held devices, computers, and everyday searches on the web and social media make you vulnerable to attack. Saving your wallet and bank account information, your passwords, and other sensitive data that you believe to be safe is no longer and it's only a matter of time before you have had something happen to you.
Now let's look at a business - you may not care for yourself personally and will deal with the issue when it arises, but what if it interrupts your ability to conduct business? What if it breaches the privacy of your clients' data? Then it gets serious! You aren't only disrupting your day to day business activities, ability to make money, and your own private data, you are now affecting your clients' and perhaps even their clients' private information as well.
