Cybersecurity Risks.
Awareness is the first line of defense.
The rise of cyberattacks has become a persistent and costly challenge for businesses of all sizes, especially Small and Medium-Sized Businesses (SMBs). For SMBs, a single cybersecurity incident can lead to devastating consequences—from financial losses to irreversible damage to their reputation.
At the center of all this are humans. Employees play a critical role in an organization’s cybersecurity, but their actions can also create vulnerabilities.
