The direct and indirect costs SMEs face in ransomware attacks, downtime scenarios, and effective defense strategies.

The vast majority of SME cybersecurity incidents start not with a technical exploit but with an employee's misclick. A planned awareness program provides higher protection than technical measures.

Vulnerability scanning means searching your systems for known security flaws. A simple, regular practice that does not require an annual audit prevents attackers from finding the holes before you do.
