Cybersecurity Reality Check

SMB’s are at higher risk over other organisations as they’re frequently forced to sacrifice security for productivity.  This begs the question “what risks are your employees taking to get the job done?”

Smaller businesses are least likely to have implemented protection such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), or Virtual Private Networks (VPN’s), and least likely to have received training in the last year compared to larger organisations.

Unfortunately, effective cybersecurity solutions are not always a viable option for all companies and for most SMB’s they may be out of reach due to budget or limited resources. Defensive measures such as cybersecurity training, VPN’s or Multi-Factor Authentication are typically less available for SMB’s compared to larger organisations.

This means the risks and impact of cyberattacks against SMB’s are much higher. In dealing with the pandemic and shift to remote working, most SMB’s may have been forced to sacrifice cybersecurity to focus on keeping workers productive.

This latest research report from Delinea takes a close look at the perceived cybersecurity risks from an employee’s perspective. What security barriers may be keeping them from being productive while working remotely, and the kinds of risks they are taking to get their jobs done.

By reading this global research report, you will gain a better understanding of the risky habits of employees and how their behaviours compare with your industry peers around the world.

Consider this report a cybersecurity “reality check” that will help you answer several questions about what’s going on in your business.
