Small and medium-sized businesses face the challenge of protecting their digital assets, ensuring the continuity of their operations and maintaining their corporate reputation, in the face of the new generation of cyberattacks: increasingly sophisticated, frequent and damaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to INCIBE’s 2023 Cybersecurity Report<\/a>, more than 22,000 cybersecurity incidents affected private companies in Spain last year. Cybercriminals are particularly taking advantage of the limited resources of SMEs to attack them. The less mature the protection system, the greater the number of vulnerabilities and the greater the chances of success for attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A cyber attack affects both operational capacity and customer confidence. And therefore also finances and business continuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reports from the Spanish Civil Guard1<\/a><\/sup> indicate that 57% of cases in which SMEs are forced to cease operations after an incident. They do so due to the costs derived from ransoms (in cases of ransomware), fines for non-compliance with regulations and, perhaps most importantly, the loss of trust from their customers..<\/p>\n\n\n\n Against this backdrop, it is evident that cybersecurity must be a vital priority for any company, regardless of its size or sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cybersecurity is not limited to technology itself; it requires a strategic approach that combines prevention, detection and response to incidents. This means being trained and prepared in advance, both to prevent and to confront a potential attack.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the specific case of an SME, it is the person responsible for decision-making who must plan the key points, mainly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n When an attack occurs, speed and organization are essential, so we suggest some fundamental steps so that, in case it happens, you are prepared:<\/p>\n\n\n\n European regulations, such as the recent NIS2 directive<\/a>, require companies to adopt proactive cybersecurity measures. Non-compliance can result in significant fines and irreversible reputational damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To address an ever-evolving threat landscape, SMBs must take a continuous approach to cyber resilience<\/a>. This includes regular employee training, proactive system monitoring, and implementing advanced security solutions that span the entire digital ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our proposal adapts to the needs of both SMEs and large companies, and focuses on the versatility of Perimetrical<\/strong>, our cybersecurity suite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We understand that cybersecurity is an ongoing process, not a one-time effort, and that’s why we’ve designed highly efficient technology designed to protect and maximize the performance of websites and APIs.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe impact of cyberattacks on SMEs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
