INTRODUCTION
Organizations of all sizes and in all industries are susceptible to ever-evolving ransomware attacks and cyber threats. Small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), in particular, face the brunt of many such attacks, and, unfortunately, suffer worse consequences, due to inadequate budgets, IT resources, and security awareness or knowledge. Avoiding and mitigating cyber threats requires organizations and individuals alike to steer away from a reactive approach, and instead take a proactive stance to cybersecurity. By “hardening” networks and systems (i.e., implementing security best practices, controls, techniques, and security tools), SMBs can minimize IT risks and reduce costs, loss of data, and recovery time when a cyberattack or data breach occurs.
Most SMBs do not invest in the level of IT security they need. As a result, a ransomware attack or data breach leaves them with millions of dollars in remediation costs. Many SMBs go under after a single cyberattack. This is why network hardening is so important.
