If you’re a small or medium-sized business (SMB) owner, you know you have to balance the need to increase employee productivity without increasing your business’ exposure to threats from online criminals. To gain a competitive edge you’re likely to adopt new technologies like IoT devices - tablets, smartphones, POS systems, security cameras, speakers. However, the more heavily you rely on these technologies, the more you’re exposing your business to cybersecurity threats.

Various small businesses - like retail shops, restaurants, financial services, hair salons, coffee shops, or construction companies - are prime targets for cyberattacks.
