Cisco Live 2018: How Small Businesses Can Overcome Cybersecurity Challenges
In 2018, ransomware, cryptomining, data breaches and other cybersecurity threats plague small and medium-sized businesses as much as larger enterprises. However, SMBs often need to confront those IT security challenges with fewer resources. We spoke with security experts at Cisco Live 2018 about how SMBs can keep their IT resources and customers' data safe. SMBs can outsource certain aspects of cybersecurity and can use network segmentation via software-defined networking to enhance their security.
