While organizations of all sizes face similar security risks, cybersecurity is rapidly becoming a top concern for small and medium businesses (SMBs) with the shift to remote work and new digital business models. SMBs are particularly vulnerable as they are faced with budget constraints and gaps in specialized security skills.
