Threat Management
As small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) embrace new technological developments like the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and the internet of things (IoT), they often overlook the security implications of digital transformation. This leaves many organizations vulnerable to cyber theft, scams, extortion, and countless other cyber-crimes. As a result, two in three SMBs suffered a security breach in the last year and cyber-attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, targeted, and damaging. With the average cost per incident exceeding $380,000 as it is, a single security breach can be detrimental to a small firm. It is, therefore, vital that SMBs begin prioritizing cyber security. The following best practices can give your organization a head start in terms of both security and compliance.
The following tools are essential to maintaining the safest possible networked environment.

Patch Management
A major risk to organizations stems from security flaws in operating
systems, applications, and hardware components that threat actors
can exploit to break into computer systems. A 2018 report showed
that unpatched vulnerabilities accounted for 57% of security breaches
affecting large organizations and this percentage is unlikely to be lower
for smaller firms
