Cybersecurity for SMEs – Why Small Businesses Are Prime Targets

Cyberattacks are not limited to Fortune 500 companies. In fact, 43% of cyberattacks now target small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)—often because hackers know these organizations have fewer resources for defense.

Common risks for SMEs include:

  • Weak password practices and lack of multi-factor authentication
  • Outdated software and unpatched vulnerabilities
  • Limited staff awareness about phishing and social engineering
  • Inadequate backup and recovery systems

The impact can be devastating—many SMEs close within six months of a major cyberattack. Yet, with the right strategy, small businesses can be just as secure as large enterprises.

Essential steps for SMEs include:

  • Regular vulnerability scans
  • Affordable cloud-based security tools
  • Employee awareness training
  • Partnering with a trusted cybersecurity provider

At Denti Systems, we deliver enterprise-grade protection tailored for SMEs, ensuring cost-effective solutions without compromising security.

Cybersecurity isn’t a luxury for small businesses—it’s a necessity for survival and growth.
