Commenting on the study, Fady Younes, Cybersecurity Director, Middle East and Africa, Cisco said: “Historically, vendors, practitioners and the cybersecurity industry as a whole have assumed that bigger means better. However, agility is what makes small and midsize businesses uniquely positioned to build successful approaches to security. The study identified three areas where small organizations should focus on to achieve success in their cybersecurity programs: enabling business, managing risk and operating efficiently. Each of these components have been shown to increase confidence and buy-in from peers and security success. According to the Cisco’s study, small and midsize organizations are finding success when teams understand security.
