True or False - Larg companies have greater resources,skilled security teams, are better defended against cyberattacks. FALSE, they may have more resources but, also have many more devices connected to the Net and a greater attack surface area.




Here are some stats to back it: 
1. An average Fortune 500 firm had approximately 500 servers and devices connected to the Internet, with five- to 10 systems exposing Windows file-sharing or Telnet services (yest telnet)

2.  Fifteen out of the 21 industry sectors had at lease one member allowing public access to a Windows file-sharing service.

3. One company in each of the aerospace & defense, chemical, and retail industries had more than 20,000 systems accessible through the Internet
