Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) face the same cyber security threats as large enterprises but often lack the resources to combat them effectively. Cyber criminals know this, making SMBs a prime target for attacks. In today’s threat landscape, having 24/7 protection is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity. But how can SMBs achieve enterprise-grade security without the overhead? The answer lies in managed cyber security services.
At Amicis Group, we specialise in delivering comprehensive cyber security solutions tailored to the needs of SMBs. Here’s why managed cyber security is the game-changer your business needs.
Why 24/7 Protection Matters
Cyber threats don’t work 9-to-5. Attacks can happen at any time, and the longer a breach goes undetected, the more damage it can cause. Consider these key statistics:
- Dwell Time, in 2024, the average dwell time, the time between breach and detection was 21 days for SMBs.
- Financial Impact, SMBs suffer an average cost of £100,000 per cyberattack.
- Data Recovery, Businesses without rapid incident response often lose critical data permanently.
Amicis Group’s Solution, Our Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service provides 24/7 monitoring, detection, and response, ensuring threats are neutralised before they can escalate.
The Challenges SMBs Face
SMBs often struggle to maintain effective cybersecurity due to:
- Limited Budgets, hiring a full-time security team or investing in enterprise-grade tools is often cost-prohibitive.
- Talent Shortage, the global shortage of cyber security professionals makes it difficult for SMBs to compete for skilled talent.
- Complex Threats, Sophisticated attacks like ransomware and supply chain compromises require advanced defences that SMBs may lack.
Amicis Group’s Solution, with managed cyber security, SMBs gain access to enterprise-grade technology and expertise without the need for in-house resources.
The Benefits of Managed Cybersecurity
