Challenges Faced by Small & Midsize Businesses How Managed Security Powered
While every organization is a target of cyber attacks, small and midsize businesses are becoming the favored
targets, while also being the most impacted if a breach occurs.
by AlienVault Can Help
• Over half of all breach victims were small & midsize businesses in 2017

• 60% of SMBs go out of business within six months of a breach

• Estimated costs of a breach for SMBs is between $80,000 - $150,000 per incident
SMBs continue to struggle when it comes to securing their IT infrastructure and business-critical data. The top
challenges cited by small and midsize organizations include:

Most small and midsize organizations lack the in-house IT staff required to maintain the tools they have in
place, much less implement and manage new security products. Nor do they have adequate personnel
coverage for 24x7 monitoring and response.
