Mid-Market Organizations are Under Attack and Under-Resourced

Mid-market organizations are targeted by sophisticated cyber threats while facing constant alert fatigue, a shortage of skilled talent, and rising pressure to meet compliance requirements.

Attackers know mid-market organizations often lack dedicated security teams, making them easier targets to exploit for ransomware, business email compromise, malware, zero-day vulnerabilities supply chain access and more.

Given the sharp rise of attacks and the evolution of techniques, tactics and procedures (TTPs) used to deploy advanced threats against your mid-market organization, it shouldn’t be surprising that IT teams are challenged with an overload of security events and alerts that they need to sort through.

The cybersecurity skills shortage is leaving mid-market organizations exposed by stretching already lean IT teams beyond their limits. Without access to enough experienced security professionals, many struggle to keep up with alerts, threat detection & response, and compliance requirements.

Industry, sector and regional mandatory compliance requirements such as GDPR, NIS2, Essentials Eight, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and NYCRR 500 are constantly evolving and often dictate the specific controls, policies, and best practices that organizations should have in place to prevent advanced cyberattacks and reduce cyber risk. However, meeting cybersecurity compliance requirements isn’t a simple task, especially for mid-market companies without the proper cybersecurity resources and skillset.
