Small to Midsize Businesses

In today’s landscape, every company requires cybersecurity, yet not all can afford to build a comprehensive in-house team. Roles like Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), analysts, engineers, and technicians are in high demand, making recruitment and retention challenging and costly.

For many companies, outsourcing cybersecurity is a more viable solution than assembling an internal team.

Cybersecurity for Small to Midsize Businesses (SMBs)

Small and midsize businesses (SMBs) face unique cybersecurity challenges. While SMBs often operate with small teams and limited resources, their risk exposure can be significant. A cybersecurity incident can impact an SMB proportionally more than a large enterprise, as SMBs typically lack the resources to absorb the costs of breaches or incidents.

Until now, these challenges have often gone unaddressed.

Barriers to Effective Cybersecurity

Through our work with hundreds of SMBs, ICE has identified four common barriers preventing effective cybersecurity in small and midsize businesses:

  • Time
    SMB IT teams are often stretched thin, with cybersecurity falling low on the list of priorities due to limited budgets and time constraints.

  • Skills
    Many SMBs rely on small IT teams or outsourced Managed Service Providers (MSPs) who focus on maintaining operations rather than cybersecurity. Dedicated cybersecurity experts are often not available to these teams.

  • Complexity
    Cybersecurity is inherently complex. Without specialists who stay current on trends and solutions, SMB IT teams can quickly feel overwhelmed by the challenges of cybersecurity.

  • Cost
    Building an effective cybersecurity program requires substantial investment. Many SMBs cannot bear the high costs of building a team, acquiring tools, and developing robust security processes.
