Kaspersky reveals that cybercriminals increasingly target SMBs with enterprise-level attack methods, exploiting cybersecurity weaknesses such as lack of IT security expertise, outdated software, and insufficient policies globally and in South Africa. Many SMBs are responding by expanding cybersecurity budgets and capabilities, including adopting advanced security solutions and training.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.

Your SMB faces the same cyberattack risks as large firms but with fewer resources. Strengthen defences now by prioritising staff training and upgrading to simpler, scalable security solutions that fit your growing budget and skills gap.
