Cybersecurity is one of the biggest concerns for
businesses today. Small and medium size companies
try to follow their larger counterparts by
adopting new skills to manage security but
usually fall short because of several reasons. It
can be due to the lack of infrastructure they
currently have, the tools they deploy or the
process they adopt to drive these services.

Check out these three major drawbacks that SMBs
face when trying to resolve IT issues on their
own
(1) Lack of Skills
Finding an expert who is proficient with the
skills is always an on-going challenge in the
business world specifically when it comes to IT
security. You may be amazed to know that close to
45 people are unaware of threats to their
Cybersecurity. One reason could be lack of
training, certification, or hands-on experience.
Nevertheless, lack of skills has become one of
the biggest obstacles to defend the business from
unstoppable threats.

Solution
Lack of Skills can be a major roadblock if
Cybersecurity is a key factor for your business.
Even though you are running on new devices and
your computer isnt already infected with
malware, you should have best solution available.
Go for a managed services provider who has the
appropriate technology, level of skills,
experience and understanding of IT networks.
Their 24x7x365 monitoring and support will help
prevent a breach of your firewall. In case of a
breach, it can be promptly rectified. Take a step
ahead and tighten your shield by getting the
right advice to prevent all kinds of security
threats.

(2) Lack of Budget
No matter what the issue is, lack of proper
budget allocation is always the biggest hurdle
between the business and security planning. Even
the very best software has security
vulnerabilities. A companys IT infrastructure
requires complete attention to secure it from
threats. It could be a dangerous misconception
that SMBs dont need security budgets.

Solution
The cost of prevention is always less than the
cost of reaction. Qualified IT professionals can
substantially help you save on unwanted IT costs.
Instead of spending thousands of dollars after
disaster hits you, you can leverage the expertise
of managed service providers and save a lot more.
(3) Lack of Security Awareness
Employees are the most important asset to the
security defense of any company. However, it is
also true that the greatest vulnerabilities are
created by employees, sometimes due to lack of
security awareness training. We all know that
human errors have been responsible for some of
the worst data breaches, and this happens mostly
when security training is an afterthought. In
fact, 40 of respondents say that lack of
security awareness among employees is the third
biggest obstacle to strengthening Cybersecurity.
7
Solution
Hold sessions about latest security standards,
new threats to create security awareness among
your greatest asset your employees.
Leveraging the knowledge and expertise of managed
service providers can allow businesses to close
the security awareness gap and ensure that
theyre well equipped to face the Cybersecurity
landscape with both internal and external
defenses.
