The cyberthreat facing SMBs

borrar

Today, almost all organizations, regardless of size or sector, use the internet in their daily activities. This creates increasing concern about how employees, customers or students are going online, and the level of multiple threats they are being exposed to.

SMBs, while seeking protection from external internet threats, are also concerned about internal, non-business-related use of the internet. This both reduces productivity and increases threat exposure. Similarly, educational establishments must protect students while detecting inappropriate Internet usage.

Other scenarios relate to public transport companies, hotels, or restaurants which offer Wi Fi to their customers. Such businesses must avoid inappropriate or illegal activity which could impact their image.

Owners and managers certainly recognize the need for this protection. 71% of SMBs with 150 – 250 employees, and 58% of all SMBs plan to invest in more cybersecurity technology. Many want to make security awareness integral to their organization, with better employee training, more regular reviews of security defenses, and higher levels of in-house security talent.

Such organizations can turn to carrier service providers to deliver suitable cybersecurity solutions – but these solutions must be both cost-effective and amenable to management by non-technical users.

Internet threats against SMB organizations

With ever more numerous and sophisticated cyberattacks, even small organizations must protect their business continuity and legal compliance – but they need a solution that they can afford and understand.

Security strategies improve productivity

Security strategies can also help with monitoring, understanding, and improving productivity. Unproductive traffic can be monitored and filtered, while reports about usage and protection statistics are generated periodically.

Understanding cybersecurity for SMBs

As cyberattacks proliferate, cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important for companies of every size. All are vulnerable to attack, and all are required by law to keep their customer data safe. Therefore, every company needs some level of cybersecurity solution deployed in their network to guarantee both business continuity and legal compliance.

SMBs, however, are hindered in adopting cybersecurity by budget and knowledge constraints. Around half the respondents to a Deloitte study cited a lack of both budget and staff as a barrier to effective security protection, while a similar proportion also noted increased sophistication in cyber threats.

A cost-effective security strategy, for both SMBs and residential users, starts with improving visibility. As more organizations adopt direct internet connections and users bypass the VPN, DNS-blind spots are created. Monitoring DNS requests as well as subsequent IP connections is an easy way to provide greater accuracy and detection of compromised systems, improving security visibility and network protection.

Accessing threat intelligence from a leading threat intelligence dictionary is essential for discovering and blocking a broad spectrum of malicious domains and IPs. This malware protection can prevent out of date security breaches, and block malware by categories.

Security strategies can also help with monitoring, understanding, and improving productivity. Daily productivity can be compared with average and maximum values, and productivity profiles can be customized per department. Unproductive traffic can be monitored and filtered, while reports about usage and protection statistics are generated periodically.

A security service can be deployed as a cloud SaaS, managed by the supplier to avoid installation and maintenance costs. Alternatively, it can be a virtual machine deployed on proprietary hardware or in the cloud, or as a VM software package installed on DNS servers connected by service chaining.

Public transport companies

Transport companies which offer internet connectivity as a service to improve competitiveness and operational efficiency

Challenge

Road and rail public transport companies need onboard connectivity via 4G/5G and Wi-Fi. This allows management and monitoring of their vehicles, as well as providing security and benefits for their passengers.

However, the wireless SD-WAN needs security protection against both external malware infections and security breaches, and internal misuse by passengers – yet deploying a security solution to each vehicle and integrating it with the onboard CPE potentially creates a massive deployment and configuration effort. The effort of adding security, and then keeping it updated after installation, should be kept as simple and as low-cost as possible.

Security solutions should also provide analytics and productivity feedback to allow ongoing improvement as well as immediate protection.

Public administration

Some public administrations give the public access to their services via the internet. However, this creates security implications alongside convenience.

Challenge

Users interact with public administrations through web or API services.

However, it is likely that other machines or processes will use internet-facing services. A service’s users are probably not limited to staff or customers. System integrators, third party suppliers, managed service providers, home workers, and process orchestration tools like those used in development pipelines could be considered ‘users’ of a service.

An Authority’s internet-facing services will likely also be impacted by both planned and unplanned events. Even if the service is neither attacked nor fails, it will need to be regularly updated and maintained.

Protection from these scenarios with a low-cost solution which is easy to deploy and manage is essential.
