At the same time, however, entrepreneurs are often unprepared for cybersecurity needs¡ªand the policymakers, industry, and nonprofit groups that support them also face technological and knowledge constraints in keeping up with their needs. To improve the ability of entrepreneurship research to understand, identify, and ultimately help address cybersecurity challenges, we conduct a literature review on the state of cybersecurity. The research highlights the necessity for additional investigation to aid small businesses in securing their confidential data and client information from cyber threats, thereby preventing the potential shutdown of the business. %K Entrepreneurship %K Cybersecurity %K Small and Medium Businesses %K Data Breach %K Hacking %K Security %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=130449
