The SME Cybersecurity Gap: attitudes, spending, and risk management in UK SMEs

Bridging the Cybersecurity Gap for UK SMEs

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of the UK economy, but they're also increasingly targeted by cyber attacks. Despite facing nearly half of all reported breaches and £billions in collective losses, many SMEs underestimate their risk, underinvest in protection, and lack the resources or expertise to respond effectively. Common myths, like being "too small" to be targeted, leave businesses exposed, while the true costs of incidents can be devastating.

It's definitely not all bad news though. SMEs can often reduce the majority of their cyber risks without spending a fortune. Best effect is achieved by knowing where the greatest risks lie and focusing efforts and investment accordingly. 

This CyberSolver Insight paper is the first in a series and highlights the cyber threats and risks faced by SMEs, the challenges often faced in dealing with them and practical steps to lower risk and protect the business. 

CyberSolver can help, with affordable, practical solutions tailored for SMEs.
