Every state now has data breach notification laws, and many are adding specific cyber insurance requirements for certain industries. Here's what small businesses need to know about cyber coverage in 2026.
Small businesses are the primary target for cyberattacks in 2026. According to Verizon's Data Breach Investigations Report, 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses, and 60% of small businesses that suffer a significant breach close within six months. The average cost of a data breach for a small business is $120,000-$200,000 — enough to threaten the survival of most operations.
