Addressing SME Cybersecurity Challenges

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are prime targets for cyber-attacks. Despite 43% of cyber-attacks targeting SMEs, a mere 14% of these businesses are adequately prepared to defend against such threats. This alarming gap highlights the critical need for tailored cybersecurity measures that address the unique challenges faced by SMEs.

To bridge this gap, the Center for Internet Security (CIS) has developed the Implementation Group 1 (IG1) controls. These controls offer a set of practical, data-backed security measures specifically designed for resource-constrained SMEs. By implementing these foundational security steps, SMEs can establish a robust defense against common cyber threats and lay the groundwork for more advanced security practices.
