Download – Resources to make sure your SMB isn’t an easy target

“Cybercriminals view SMBs as “low-hanging fruit” because their networks are often easier to breach with minimal effort. They can often compromise multiple smaller networks for the same result as a single, massive one.”

– Toon Vandendriessche, Illumio expert @ ACEN

Defend your SMB from the inside out

It’s a myth that cybercriminals only target large enterprises. 75% of all cyber incidents hit small and midsize businesses (SMBs), and 90% of those attacks successfully stole data, credentials or other confidential data.

70 % of cyber incidents which targeted SMB’s were from
ransomware were the biggest threats. So, It’s clear that SMBs remain a significant focus for cybercriminals, often due to relatively weaker defenses compared to larger enterprises. So, the time to act is now!

Why your SMB is often
an easy target

Relatively weaker defenses
Limited IT resources
Valuable customer data
Low employee awareness
Outdated software systems

Learn how a Zero Trust approach grounded in microsegmentation can help your business thrive without fear of compromise.

The solution? Zero Trust

Instead of focusing only on preventing an initial breach, a Zero Trust security model assumes that a breach is inevitable and focuses on containing it to minimize damage. The foundation of a Zero Trust strategy is microsegmentation.

Microsegmentation works by dividing your network into small, secure zones to isolate individual applications and workloads. This prevents an attacker from moving laterally through your network and spreading ransomware once they get inside.
