Cybercriminals aren’t just targeting enterprises anymore. SMBs are in the crosshairs, and the consequences are costly. A single data breach can cost an SMB over $3 million, yet many businesses still lack the visibility needed to detect threats before it’s too late.
In this episode of Perimeter Perspective, hosts Michael Moore and Alyssa Birchfield break down SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) - what it is, how it works, and why modern threat detection is essential for SMB cybersecurity.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why SMBs are prime cyberattack targets and how SIEM helps close security gaps.
- How real-time threat detection stops cyber threats before they escalate into full-blown breaches.
- Why traditional SIEM solutions were seen as too expensive or complex for SMBs—and how Next Perimeter has changed the game.
- A real-world case study where SIEM prevented a fraudulent financial attack before any damage was done.
Cybersecurity doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Learn how SIEM can provide enterprise-grade security - without enterprise complexity.
