‘Only when MSMEs understand what’s at risk, what to protect, they can identify right cybersecurity tools’

Technology for MSMEs: The term cybersecurity has been much discussed in boardrooms, even more so in the last year, as the pandemic stirred enormous disruption across industries, leaving businesses affected regardless of their size. While cybersecurity has been emphasized more in recent times, it must be noted that cybersecurity has gained prominence only about five to six years ago. It was the phase when novel technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and analytics had become the buzzwords and digital transformation journeys of many large organizations were in the nascent stages. As big enterprises began their digital transformation initiatives, the associated security threats were realized, which eventually underlined the need for advanced security strategies.
