Enhancing Security Posture – How Hybrid Cloud Solutions Keep Your Business Secure
Is your business prepared to face the next cyber threat?
If you run a small and medium-sized business (SMB), safeguarding your data is crucial. While traditional on-premises IT solutions provide some control, they often fall short in addressing ever-evolving cyber threats.
Imagine discovering your data has been breached only after 214 days – that's the average time it takes to detect a breach according to a Ponemon study.
According to a recent Crowd Research report, 90% of cybersecurity professionals are worried about cloud security, particularly regarding data loss, leaks, and breaches of privacy and confidentiality. These concerns emphasize the need for robust hybrid cloud security solutions.
The Challenges of Traditional IT Security
Internal IT departments face significant hurdles in tackling cybersecurity issues, especially when scaling security measures during high-risk periods. Scaling typically involves procuring new hardware and software licenses, followed by intricate installation and configuration processes.
These steps are time-intensive and can lead to data breaches during critical periods. For instance, a Ponemon study found that detecting a data breach takes an average of 214 days.
In today's fast-paced business environment, such delays can incur substantial costs and stress. Keeping hardware and software updated with security patches is another challenge, particularly for SMBs with limited resources. Many SMBs lack dedicated IT security staff, relying instead on their entire IT team, which may delay addressing critical vulnerabilities due to competing priorities.
Hybrid Cloud – Robust Security for Small & Medium Businesses
Hybrid cloud solutions offer a promising way to tackle the cybersecurity challenges faced by SMBs. By integrating on-premises IT management with advanced cloud security features, hybrid cloud provides a multi-layered defense against cyber threats.
