Why do cybercriminals see auto dealerships as prime targets for attacks?
Let’s walk through the threats your dealership faces and, more importantly, the concrete steps you can take to safeguard your business.
Recent data shows a staggering 68% increase in ransomware attacks in the past year alone. The financial and reputational costs are severe, with many businesses feeling forced to pay ransoms—often exceeding $1 million—just to regain access to their systems.
But the damage doesn’t end with the ransom payment: these attacks can also disrupt operations, cripple your ability to serve customers, and ultimately erode the trust you’ve worked so hard to build.
When a cyberattack hits, the costs pile up fast—and they go far beyond the ransom payment.
The rise in ransomware and cyberattacks means that protecting your dealership is no longer optional—it’s essential.
For many dealerships, it’s not realistic to handle the majority of their cybersecurity needs in-house. This is where partnering with a managed IT services provider like Nicom becomes crucial.
