Cisco study reveals top cybersecurity considerations for SMEs in 2021

Cisco has published its 2021 SMB Security Outcomes Study, a derivative of Cisco’s flagship cybersecurity report, 2021 Security Outcomes Study, highlighting what SMB leaders are doing to thrive in today’s ever-evolving threat landscape, as well as offering actionable insights on where they should focus their digitisation, security planning and cyberdefence efforts.

The double-blind study is based on a survey of over 850 regional IT and security professionals from small and midsize organisations in 25 countries from the Europe, Middle East, Africa and Russia.  The report examines how security leaders in SMBs organisations can achieve success in their cybersecurity programmes by looking at which specific practices help to enable their businesses, combat advanced threats and targeted attacks, and operate efficiently.

Fady Younes from Cisco said: “Historically, vendors, practitioners and the cybersecurity industry as a whole have assumed that bigger means better. However, agility is what makes small and midsize businesses uniquely positioned to build successful approaches to security.”
