Managed Cyber Security for SMEs: Small Robot's Expertise

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly becoming targets for cyber threats. With 43% of cyberattacks aimed at small businesses, the need for robust managed cyber security solutions has never been greater. Small Robot, a boutique tech and AI services provider, offers tailored solutions to protect your business from evolving threats.

Why SMEs Need Managed Cyber Security

SMEs often lack the resources to maintain in-house cyber security teams, making them vulnerable to attacks like ransomware, phishing, and data breaches. Managed cyber security services provide 24/7 monitoring, threat detection, and response, ensuring your business stays protected. But as with all things not all Managed Security Service Providers are created equal. In fact, many Cyber Security Service Providers are limited in what they provide in terms of business protection vs information/cyber security threats. 

Choosing the right service provider is essential in protecting your business and your customer’s and their privacy data.

Recent Trends in Threat Actors vs Managed Cyber Security Providers

• Cyber Criminals: in order to be successful, only need to find one gap/vulnerability at one time in one system, device, app or web facing service. The business however, has to protect many apps, devices, services, users, websites, cloud/SaaS and data at all times.
• Cyber Criminals: There has been an Increased adoption of AI by cyber criminals, often to identify weak application or services, and to bypass existing security capabilities, the exact things that Managed Security Providers don’t protect
• Managed Security Services: traditional providers to continue to focus only on the endpoint with an agent deployed (EDR) missing may other common attack vectors (and cyber criminals can bypass this)
  
• Managed Security Services: some providers are moving toward XDR whereby they can include some other data for detections, such as firewall and limited identity data. This fails to provide adequate business protection of the attack surface, especially in regards to cloud, perimeter or business critical applications.
• Security Vendors: Many vendors have moved into the Managed Security space, but only operate in their own product, which is either and endpoint only mechanism (EDR) or slightly improved XDR service (firewalls/some identity) - both of which are inadequate to provide the right level of protection for a business.
• Managed Security Providers: Provide detection & response only, rarely providing the services to secure an environment, and keep it secure/up to date, often due to the time, effort, skill, experience and resources required. This leaves services, apps, websites, perimeter devices and IoT/OT exposed and vulnerable to both compromise and serious business impact.
• Cyber Criminals: are quick to adopt and adapt to changes in technology and business. Unrestricted by ‘governance & process’ they are able to iterate attacks faster and more efficiently to capitalise on opportunity
• Managed Security Services: scale via having common detections and responses across all clients; this limits their ability to implement changes quickly and removes the ability for bespoke detections on a per customer basis, giving attackers the advantage.
