Small businesses have historically underestimated their exposure to cyber threats, often operating under the assumption that cybercriminals focus exclusively on large enterprises. Function-4 points out that this is not the case, and the updated service is intended to give smaller organizations access to enterprise-grade security tools and guidance, without requiring them to build an in-house IT security team.
Research consistently shows that around 43% of all cyberattacks are directed at small businesses, while 60% of those that suffer a successful breach close within six months. Businesses with fewer than 100 employees face a disproportionately high volume of social engineering threats, and the cost of a single incident can easily reach tens of thousands of dollars.
Those figures point to a need for proactive security rather than reactive responses. Function-4 conducts in-depth cybersecurity assessments that identify existing vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, and its dark web scanning service monitors for compromised credentials that may already be in circulation. Ongoing managed IT services are also available to support businesses beyond a one-time review.
"Small businesses are often seen as easy targets because they tend to have fewer defenses in place," a Function-4 representative explains. "Our goal is to change that equation by giving businesses the same level of protection that larger organizations take for granted, delivered in a way that makes sense for their size and budget."
Function-4 serves clients from multiple office locations as a single source for imaging, print management, and IT services. The company was recognized as a 2023 ENX Magazine Elite Dealer, selected from among the nation's leading office technology providers based on criteria that include technical service excellence and technology leadership.
"Cherrie was a genuine pleasure to work with from start to finish," one client noted. "She was approachable, thorough, and consistently handled every step with real professionalism. Her patience and attention to detail made what could have been a complicated process surprisingly smooth and straightforward."
