Zero trust for SMBs: Start thinking incrementally – TechRadar


When it comes to cybersecurity, small and midsize businesses (SMBs) have gotten a bad rap. Every once in a while I will see media coverage of something like this CNBC survey, which claimed to find that more than 60 percent of small business owners are not concerned about the risk of a cyber attack, and it makes my head spin. To put it bluntly, I don’t buy it. I work with SMBs every day and can tell you firsthand that the issues they are facing around cybersecurity are not related to ignorance or a failure to prioritize. It’s that cybersecurity is really hard as an SMB!

Same challenges, different budget, different consequences

If you think about the security challenges facing SMBs, they’re really not that much different than the ones facing large enterprises. Malicious actors developing increasingly sophisticated and varied methods of gaining illicit access to valuable assets and data? Check. Attack surface expanding exponentially due to a host of factors including the rising adoption of hybrid work? Concerns about the tradeoff between security and ease of use/productivity? Check and check!
