A cybersecurity plan typically consists of consultants, software firewalls, and related systems that help small and medium-sized companies (SMBs) establish protective systems for fending off cyberattacks. These interventions cost SMBs between $5000 and $7000 annually. These mechanisms are updated and maintained at an additional cost of $3,000 to $5,000 per year for small businesses. It is still important to develop a response protocol to these attacks as well as build defenses against these attacks regardless of these expenditures.

In terms of cybersecurity response strategies, cybersecurity insurance is a relatively inexpensive component. Spending thousands of dollars on defensive technology without insuring its losses and liabilities resulting from that technology's failure is a waste of money.
