To maintain a competitive edge in increasingly crowded market verticals, businesses need to leverage the most advanced technology available. This means cloud computing artificial intelligence, machine learning, and preparing for network changes such as 5G. While these technologies are available for small and mid-sized businesses to use at scale, they can present unwieldy challenges when it comes to securing IT infrastructure and protecting valuable digital assets from cybercriminals.
For example, a growing number of businesses are moving their operations onto the cloud. While cloud computing offers teams added flexibility and allows businesses to use only the resources they need—scaling up and down as necessary—it also comes with its fair share of cybersecurity challenges. Information that’s stored and managed in the cloud still needs to be properly secured through sophisticated data protection and encryption strategies—otherwise, businesses risk exposure to cybercriminals.
Additionally, network updates such as 5G pose specific threats small and mid-sized businesses might have a difficult time preparing for on their own. Because 5G will change the way software updates, the number of devices connected to networks, and the ease with which they can remotely access it, bad actors will have an easier time penetrating poorly protected IT infrastructure.
With properly managed cybersecurity, businesses can rely on expert advice and trained IT professionals to close vulnerabilities caused by new technology. This will empower small and mid-sized firms to leverage the same tools as larger competitors without having to expose themselves to potentially debilitating cyberattacks.
