Security News > 2023 > October > SMBs at risk as AI misconceptions lead to overconfidence

Despite advancements in IT security measures, SMBs remain firmly in the crosshairs of cybercriminals, according to Devolutions.

Devolutions CEO David Hervieux states, "The results from our survey dovetail nicely with October's National Cybersecurity Awareness Month - as one of our primary goals with this report is to expand awareness of the vulnerabilities that many SMBs face. It's not just about presenting stats but about truly educating the industry on the various pitfalls - and how SMBs can use the survey findings to identify gaps, develop strategies, and make informed decisions regarding their cybersecurity posture."

SMBs urged to strenghten defense against cyberattacks.

It's not just AI in which SMBs are feeling overconfident.

These findings underscore the importance of SMBs using an appropriate PAM solution tailored for their needs, rather than complicated PAM solutions that are designed for large enterprises.

Lemay summarizes, "We are in the era of the digital Wild West, where threats abound. SMBs must develop a defense capability to protect their interests and all their stakeholders against predictable opportunities for cyberattacks. Whether this capability is developed in-house or outsourced, cybersecurity expertise is crucial to health and well-being of SMBs' future."
