2024 has presented SMEs with more cyber-risks than any year before, with approximately 50% of registered small businesses reporting cyber attacks in the year to date. As you might expect, this means we're having more conversations about cybersecurity than ever before, with many businesses asking us if EDR is worth investing in compared to traditional antivirus. This blog will break down the differences between conventional antivirus and EDR, evaluating the relative values of each.

Unfortunately, many small and medium-sized businesses often overlook or underestimate the importance of robust cybersecurity measures, leaving them vulnerable to cyberattacks. In fact, SMEs are increasingly becoming the target of cybercriminals because they typically have weaker defenses than large corporations.

For SMEs, navigating the complexities of cybersecurity can feel overwhelming, but with the help of local cybersecurity experts, it’s easier to take control of your business’s digital safety. Let’s look at the most common cybersecurity pitfalls and how you can address them.

Every business—large or small—faces cybersecurity threats. For small and medium-sized businesses, these risks are particularly pressing, as a single cyberattack can severely impact operations, finances, and reputation.

But the reality is that the right cybersecurity products can provide significant ROI by preventing costly breaches, minimising downtime, and ensuring business continuity.

Remote work has become the norm for many businesses, but with that shift comes unique cybersecurity challenges. For small and medium businesses, securing a remote workforce requires special attention to prevent data breaches and cyberattacks. Whether your team is working from home or from anywhere around the world, it’s important to implement the right cybersecurity measures. In this blog, we’ll cover five essential steps to secure your remote team and keep your business data safe.

In this blog, we'll explore the reasons behind the growing trust in cloud services and why cloud computing is considered the more secure option for businesses of all sizes.
