Simple Security Is Better Security

How small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) can benefit from cloud-based security

Most vendors seem to assume that SMBs (or SMEs) have the expertise and full-time staff of a large enterprise to manage IT security. But this one-size-fits-all approach may result in higher costs, lower productivity and more risk for SMBs.

The good news? The movement to cloud-based security-as-a-service can improve user experience, reduce complexity and enhance security. Today’s cloud-based IT security solutions are perfect for SMBs because they’re easy to install, configure and manage, and should provide automatic, real-time protection from most threats.

This paper examines the complexity of enterprise-class security products, the different needs of smaller organizations and a simpler alternative: cloud solutions for SMBs.
