Why Cybersecurity Matters for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses (SMBs): A Guide for C-Suite

### The Misconception of Security Through Size

One pervasive misconception is that smaller businesses are less likely to attract cybercriminals’ attention. However, data proves otherwise: cybercriminals often see SMBs as easy targets precisely because they may lack the extensive defences of larger enterprises. Small and medium businesses hold valuable data, including customer information, financial records, and intellectual property, making them prime candidates for attacks such as phishing, ransomware, and business email compromise.

Broken Access Control: A Silent Threat to Your Business

Access control is the process of defining who can access what resources and under what conditions. When these controls are not properly implemented or enforced, it leads to Broken Access Control. This vulnerability allows unauthorised individuals to access sensitive data, modify critical systems, or even take complete control of the infrastructure.

Certificate Transparency Abuse: Navigating the Risks and Safeguarding Your Organisation

Certificate Transparency is a system designed to provide an open framework for monitoring, auditing, and enforcing the issuance of digital certificates. Introduced by Google in 2013, CT aims to combat the issuance of fraudulent certificates by creating publicly accessible logs that record all certificates issued by Certificate Authorities (CAs). These logs can be monitored by anyone, allowing for greater accountability and transparency in the PKI ecosystem.

Key Recovery Attacks: Safeguarding Encryption Keys in the Digital Age

Key recovery attacks refer to attempts by malicious actors to retrieve encryption keys used to secure data within an organisation. By obtaining these keys, attackers can decrypt sensitive information, impersonate legitimate users, or perform unauthorised operations, leading to potential data breaches and other cyber risks. These attacks typically target encryption keys stored insecurely, in compromised systems, or within weakly protected environments.
