Today the digital adoption is increasing amongst small and medium businesses (SMB) as well. With this adoption, small or medium or startup businesses are getting good economic growth. On the other side this success attracting cybercrime.
Digital transformation has driven many midsize businesses to adopt cloud solutions and enable remote work. As a result, more employees, remote devices, tools, and services require protection across multiple locations, further straining already limited IT resources.
Midsize firms are particularly more appealing to the threat actors for various reasons.
Cybercriminals are working round the clock, continuously deploying new attack methods and exploiting every weakness they can find. Attackers are highly skilled and can extract data from victims in a matter of hours.
Limited funding and skilled IT resources for cybersecurity is the major challenge for such businesses.
Part of the challenge is that cybersecurity has become increasingly complex.
Cybersecurity is not one time job rather it’s a continuous practice which demands:
- Strengthening policies and governance, risk and compliance (GRC).
- Optimizing internal cybersecurity ecosystems by improving education, automation, and processes.
- Recruiting and upskilling cybersecurity professionals.
- Taking preventive measures at every stage of the attack lifecycle to strengthen their security posture significantly.
With challenges highlighted above hence we strongly recommend adopting cybersecurity as a service (CAAS). Cyberforce offers CAAS as an outsourced shared service model which strengthens cybersecurity while simplifying operations.
This model also offers an instant cost savings against upfront technology costs.
Rather than handling cybersecurity internally, you can outsource security operations to cyberforce which brings the expertise to continuously monitor the security posture of your environment and defend as well.
