    "Why would cybercriminals go after a small business like mine? There’s nothing to steal." The reality is that cybercriminals prey on the unprepared - and small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are prime targets. Robust cyber defenses could be the difference in SMEs keeping their doors open - 60% of SMEs close after falling victim to a single cyberattack. VikingCloud’s newest whitepaper, “Under Attack: How SMEs Should Rethink Their Approach to Cyber Defense” addresses: · The new threat landscape for SMEs with the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI). · Why SMEs current approach to cybersecurity isn’t cutting it. · And how VikingCloud’s Managed Security Services (MSS) can be a competitive differentiator for SMEs. Click below to download the whitepaper and learn more about: - How cybersecurity challenges lead to business failure. - The market dynamics which are leading SMEs to face increasing cybersecurity vulnerabilities. - How a Managed Security Services Provider can close the gaps SMEs have in their digital networks. - How VikingCloud’s MSS is helping millions of SMEs operate business uninterrupted in the face of daily cyber threats.

    We are delighted to welcome Richard Horne (CEO of the National Cyber Security Centre) to deliver the inaugural Fred Piper Information Security Lecture on 9 December, established in memory of the late Professor Fred Piper who founded the Information Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London. Richard's lecture - Mind the Gap - will examine the "defence and resilience of businesses and institutions in the face of the threat of cyber attack" and will reflect on how "as a society we need to step up to the challenge of closing that gap - both in terms of our defences and our ability to be resilient in the face of successful attacks." https://lnkd.in/ebF63_py
