Small Business, Big Threats: INE Security To Train SMBs, Close a Critical Skills Gap | HackerNoon
Briefly

"The skills shortage remains a significant challenge for small and mid-sized businesses, as many do not feel they have the resources to invest in cybersecurity," said Dara Warn, the CEO of INE Security. "We know that cybersecurity training is no longer optional for businesses - it is essential. Our mission is to provide accessible, effective, and affordable training to these businesses so they can close the gap, ultimately enhancing their defensive capabilities."
A Corvus study found 47% of businesses with fewer than 50 employees have no cybersecurity budget at all, even as a majority call cybersecurity a 'top concern.' As SMBs consider implementing or enhancing a cybersecurity strategy, INE Security is highlighting the keys to successful rollout, including choosing the right training provider and crafting a proactive strategy.
As cyber threats grow, small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are disproportionately targeted. The recent Hiscox annual cyber readiness report highlights that 41% of SMBs in the US fell victim to a cyberattack in 2023, nearly doubling since 2021. INE Security is leading an initiative for change by working with SMBs to bridge the IT/IS skills gap and bolster proactive cybersecurity measures.
