Key Points:

  • Cybersecurity threats pose a significant risk to small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) due to their lack of robust security infrastructure.
  • Many SMBs lack the cybersecurity staff and expertise necessary to deal with advanced cyberthreats.

Summary: Small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are particularly vulnerable to cybersecurity threats due to their limited resources and lack of expertise. In a recent survey, 63% of SMBs reported facing increasingly advanced cyberthreats, and 61% said they lacked the cybersecurity staff to address these threats. However, AI technologies offer a solution to these challenges. AI can enhance threat detection and prevention by moving beyond traditional signature-based approaches. It can also address attacks in progress and provide interactive explanations and answers to complex issues. By harnessing AI-powered cybersecurity tools and implementing basic security measures, SMBs can significantly improve their security postures and navigate the complex realm of cybersecurity with confidence.
