Cybersecurity for SMEs: How to protect yourself effectively against cyber threats

The challenge: Increasing cyber threats and limited resources

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are facing ever greater cybersecurity challenges. The number of cyber attacks is constantly increasing and the attackers' methods are becoming ever more sophisticated. The risks are enormous: almost all SMEs (94%) have already been the victim of a cyber attack, and more than three quarters (78%) fear that a serious security breach could threaten the existence of their company.

Growing threat situation and increasing complexity

Companies must equip themselves against an increasingly complex threat situation:

• Increased attack surface due to hybrid working models, cloud services and shadow IT

• Dynamic threats such as ransomware-as-a-service, AI-powered cyberattacks and targeted phishing campaigns

• Regulatory requirements and increasing cybersecurity demands from insurers and customers

Many companies are aware of the risks, but often lack the expertise and know-how to proactively improve their security posture. So how can SMEs effectively optimise their IT security without overburdening their IT teams?
