Who's Protecting Your Company from Today's Cyberthreats?

Small businesses are becoming more frequent targets for cybercriminals because they often lack the resources needed to prevent and detect attacks.

How well is your company protected from today's cyberthreats?

The Numbers Don’t Lie

According to a recent study by Barracuda Networks – “An employee of a small business with less than 100 employees will experience 350% more social engineering attacks than an employee of a larger enterprise with C-Level executives and their assistants being the most frequent targets.”

However, according to a CNBC Small Business Survey, just 5% of small business owners report cybersecurity as the biggest risk to their business.

This disconnect makes small businesses more susceptible to attack and less capable of stopping or recovering from devastating and expensive attacks like Ransomware and Business Email Compromise.

Small businesses are often more vulnerable to cyberthreats due to their limited resources and lack of cybersecurity expertise.

What’s a Business to do?

So, how do you keep your company from being low-hanging fruit for Hackers?

You make yourself an expensive unattractive target for hackers by implementing robust security tools and practices. Sounds easy, right? Of course it doesn’t. Without the in-house staff or expertise needed, this would be quite a daunting undertaking, which leaves you with two options. You can build your own internal cybersecurity team, which is expensive and time-consuming, or turn to third-party security experts.

Small businesses are frequently choosing option two and turning to Managed Security Service Providers or MSSPs to help protect their companies from cyberthreats.

What Exactly is an MSSP?

MSSPs are third-party companies that offer comprehensive cybersecurity solutions for businesses of all sizes. But they're particularly well-suited to small businesses, which often don't have the internal resources to manage their security.

Benefits of an MSSP

1. Cost Effective - MSSPs are more cost-effective than hiring an in-house security team.

2. Around-the-Clock Monitoring - MSSPs have teams of security experts who work 24x7x365 to protect your company from threats.

3. Comprehensive Protection - MSSPs offer a wide range of services, from Endpoint Security protection and Managed Detection and Response services to Office 365 Security and email security.
