Cloud-based security solutions for SMBs

A major shift in the cybersecurity landscape is taking place this year as small businesses find themselves targeted by hackers and other bad actors in the online space.

Ransomware attacks, which typically used to affect larger companies because of their ability to pay extravagant amounts of money, are now shifting into the SMB (small and medium business) space and every enterprise in South Africa needs to be aware of this real threat.

One of the major challenges for small business owners as they take actions to secure their companies online is the prohibitive cost of implementing a comprehensive cybersecurity system. Cloud-based solutions like our secure storage packages offer an affordable and secure alternative to traditional IT security setups.

Security and affordability in the cloud

Traditional data storage was usually focused on hardware such as the hard drives and removables, but it has proven to be way too vulnerable to cyberattacks. What’s more, the cost of maintaining and securing this technology is beyond the reach of most small businesses, and the type of data storage service that they’re likely to receive on a budget may leave security loopholes open for potential cyber attackers to exploit.

Cloud-based data storage solutions can be tailored to the exact needs of the business on a pay as you use basis, making them ideal for SMB’s that are looking to scale up in the coming years.
As a shared resource, cloud-based data storage can offer far superior reliability and security features than most small businesses could afford to implement on a standalone basis. This translates into enhanced security at a fraction of the cost.
Technical support is an essential feature of any data storage product. A cloud-based solution gives clients access to a team of IT professionals who are available around the clock to assist with technical issues. Needless to say, the cost of employing an IT specialist 24-hours a day would be prohibitive for almost every small business
