Industry experts believe that using managed security services can help small businesses become more resilient.
“In the short term, SMEs can solve problems by working with managed security service providers, who not only can better protect them and respond to threats, but also advise them not to overinvest security technologies,” said Exelby of Red Helix. “Education is key to greater diversity by addressing the long-term skills gap that affects the entire sector.”
Automation is another important security strategy that helps SMB introduce gaps.
“Most small IT teams cannot manage the constant flow of alerts, patches and manual controls, which is why automation is essential,” said Albert Estevez, live CTO of Zero Networks. “By automated segmentation and access control, organizations can reduce risks and include threats without the need for enterprise-sized security teams.”
