Abstract
SMEs have been singled out as organizations with significant vulnerability to external security threats such as hackers and viruses. This paper explores these issues to determine if SMEs are more vulnerable, and why. It has been postulated that resource issues are the cause for SME vulnerability but the paper finds that there are other contributing issues. Additionally, the paper explores the knowledge requirements required to utilize hacking and security tools and the impacts those knowledge requirements have on SMEs.
