Increased Risk
SME’s are attractive targets for cybercriminals, as they often have weaker security measures then large enterprise. Cyber attackers view SME’s as easy targets for quick financial gain, as well as gateways to larger organisations trading with the SME’s.
Limited Resources
SME’s often lack the internal expertise and resources needed to implement effective cybersecurity measures, leading to vulnerabilities in networks and systems.
The Latest Threats
It’s difficult for SME’s to stay abreast of the current cybersecurity threat landscape; to be aware of current, new and emerging threats. Failure to address, evolve protection and plan increases risk of compromise from phishing attacks, malware, and other cyber-attacks.
Compliance Requirements
SME’s can be subject to regulatory requirements around data protection and security, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Weak cybersecurity measures can lead to unintentional breaches.
Cybersecurity Insurance
Is becoming increasingly common place. In principle it will protect against some of the costs of a data breach, but only if certain criteria around cybersecurity measures have been satisfied by the insured.
Incident response
How to deal with a compromise and, potentially, threats and communications from sinister actors.
