Most of the security industry is chasing “around” 31,000 larger enterprise-sized companies for their business. The list is well known and circulated and targets are on the backs of ALL the C-Suite, most of the technical folks, and the MSP/VARS that support them. The Security industry circles them like packs of hyena or vultures waiting for one of them to fall, get breached, or for a vendor to be thrown out… pouncing on the fresh kill with glee…
Meanwhile, you’re sitting there getting slaughtered by every adversary known to mankind because you ARE the forgotten, you’re too small for the multi-billion $$ cyber companies whom IF they decide to deal with you will flood you with MSA’s, SOW’s and NDA’s that would take a week’s worth of lawyer time JUST to understand, let alone realize that they’re not accountable for anything, unlikely to want to support you and in all honestly you’ll get a 1-800-YOU-AREN’T-SPECIAL number as your sole source of support.
We’re going to address the current situation, the state of play, and give you some thoughts, suggestions, ideas, AND plans. We’ll provide resources on HOW to evaluate, where to look, what to do, AND, importantly, we’ll do it because it’s what we’re doing. We live, breathe, and deal with this daily. We’ve sat in the meetings when the large cybersecurity companies state, “we’re done dealing with the SMB market” and we’ve got the battle scars from dealing with those subsequent consequences.
