SMEs Targeted by Cyberattacks 

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly becoming targets of cybercriminals. According to Netzwoche, the number of cyberattacks in Switzerland increased by 113% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the previous year — an alarming rise. Particularly concerning is the increase in AI-driven attacks, such as deepfake-based CEO fraud (Source: SECO SME Portal).
