2024 SMB Threat Report: Key Takeaways and Protective Measures

In the modern digital landscape, cybersecurity threats are continually evolving, becoming more sophisticated and challenging to combat. According to the latest SMB Threat Report 2024, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals, highlighting the need for robust cybersecurity measures. This article delves into the critical insights from the report and discusses how Hodeitek’s range of cybersecurity services can help companies in Spain, the EU, and beyond stay protected.

Key Findings from the SMB Threat Report 2024

The SMB Threat Report 2024, published by Securelist, provides a detailed analysis of the latest cyber threats affecting SMBs globally. Below are the primary highlights:

• Ransomware Attacks: The report indicates a 30% increase in ransomware incidents targeting SMBs compared to the previous year.
• Phishing Attacks: Phishing remains the predominant initial access vector, accounting for 45% of all attacks.
• Supply Chain Attacks: There is a significant rise in attacks through third-party vendors, complicating the threat landscape.
• Insider Threats: Insufficient cybersecurity training has led to an increase in insider threats, either malicious or due to negligence.

Considering these findings, it’s evident that SMBs need comprehensive cybersecurity strategies. At Hodeitek, we offer an array of advanced cybersecurity services tailored to meet the specific needs of businesses in Spain and the EU.

Robust Cybersecurity Solutions from Hodeitek

Enhanced Cybersecurity Services

At Hodeitek, we recognize the need for advanced and adaptive cybersecurity solutions to counter modern threats. Our Cybersecurity Services cover a broad range of areas designed to provide end-to-end protection for your business.

EDR, XDR, and MDR

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Extended Detection and Response (XDR), and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) are essential services in our cybersecurity suite:

• EDR: Focuses on detecting and responding to threats at endpoints like laptops and servers. EDR helps in identifying suspicious activities and mitigating threats quickly.
• XDR: Provides a more comprehensive approach by combining data from multiple security layers (e.g., network, servers, endpoints). XDR enhances detection accuracy and response effectiveness.
• MDR: Offers 24/7 monitoring and response by cybersecurity experts, ensuring continuous protection and quick incident handling.

These services are particularly effective against evolving threats highlighted in the SMB Threat Report, such as ransomware and insider threats. By implementing EDR, XDR, and MDR, businesses can significantly reduce their risk exposure.

Next Generation Firewall (NGFW)

The Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) is a vital component of modern cybersecurity architecture. NGFWs provide advanced capabilities like intrusion prevention, application control, and deep packet inspection, which are crucial for monitoring and blocking sophisticated attacks, including phishing and supply chain threats.

Vulnerability Management as a Service (VMaaS)

Regular vulnerability assessments are critical for identifying and mitigating weaknesses in your IT infrastructure. Our Vulnerability Management as a Service (VMaaS) helps businesses proactively manage vulnerabilities, ensuring that threats are addressed before they can be exploited by attackers.

VMaaS is particularly important for SMBs to safeguard against unpatched software vulnerabilities, a common attack vector identified in the SMB Threat Report.

SOC as a Service (SOCaaS) 24×7

Our SOC as a Service (SOCaaS) provides round-the-clock security monitoring, detection, and response. A Security Operations Center (SOC) manned by cybersecurity experts ensures that your organization is protected against constant threats, providing peace of mind and allowing you to focus on your core business operations.

Industrial SOC as a Service (SOCaaS) 24×7

For industries with specific security needs, our Industrial SOC as a Service (SOCaaS) is designed to address unique industrial cybersecurity challenges, such as those faced by manufacturing and critical infrastructure sectors. Enhanced monitoring and tailored incident response strategies ensure the security of industrial control systems and operational technology environments.

Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI)

Effective cybersecurity goes beyond mere defense — it involves anticipating threats before they materialize. Our Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) service provides actionable insights into potential threats, helping businesses to stay a step ahead of cybercriminals.

CTI involves gathering and analyzing data on threat actors and their methods, which is crucial for identifying new attack vectors and implementing proactive defenses.
