Small Business Cybersecurity

Overview

Small business cybersecurity, simplified

As an IT security leader for a small to medium-sized business (SMB), you’re at a disadvantage when it comes to defending against cybersecurity threats. You face the same threats from cybercriminals and similar levels of risk as enterprise organizations - such as data loss, financial repercussions, and reputational damage - but you have fewer resources to mitigate them.

At the same time, the volume and sophistication of cyberattacks continue to increase. Popular business productivity platforms, like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, have become irresistible targets, resulting in increased exposure for organizations of all sizes. You need the best small business cybersecurity you can get, delivered simply and affordably.

The place to start? Email. It’s still the number one attack vector. However, it’s not the only piece of the cybersecurity puzzle. Mimecast is must-have security for companies serious about:

Blocking sophisticated attacks, like ransomware and impersonation.
Protecting web browsing to safeguard against malicious web activity.
Educating employees about cyber risks to prevent threats from spreading internally.

Challenges & Solutions

Break the cyberattack chain

From limited resources to budget constraints and the skills gap, SMBs must constantly balance security concerns with supporting a broad range of organizational requirements. Mimecast’s small business cybersecurity plans provide affordable, easy to deploy, and easy to manage security, archiving, and resilience, enabling SMBs to achieve enterprise-level security – without the excessive cost and complexity.

We can help with challenges like:

Closing gaps in Microsoft 365. Email is the most exploited business application, and Microsoft is the most targeted platform, facing threats such as ransomware, CEO impersonation, and credential theft attacks. A layered security approach is critical to protecting your business, suppliers, and customers.
Simplifying compliance. Due to the volume of data from email and collaboration tools, e-discovery is costly and meeting compliance regulations is complicated. As a result, IT professionals are forced to spend too much time responding to compliance needs instead of focusing on critical tasks.
Improving resilience and recovery. Whether you’re dealing with a cyberattack or Microsoft downtime, your organization can’t afford to be offline. You need to keep email flowing, data protected, and backups secured for recoverability no matter what.
