For all the excitement about AI, one of the overlooked threats of artificial intelligence is the impact it’s already having on security. While many technology suppliers are incorporating AI into their security systems to improve safeguards, we’re also beginning to see an increase in cyber attacks aided by generative AI—from more sophisticated phishing emails to more targeted personalization of attacks.
Along with growing trends like remote work and digital transactions, the attack surface for business is expanding, making cybersecurity more important than ever to protect sensitive data and maintain business continuity. Nowhere is this imperative more crucial than among SMBs, where resource constraints often undermine the most robust security practices.
To address these challenges, and to equip SMBs with enterprise-grade security solutions, Intech Southwest offers cutting-edge endpoint protection solutions and security solutions backed by HP Wolf Security.
SMBs face unique cybersecurity challenges. With smaller budgets and IT teams than enterprise companies, SMBs present an attractive mark for bad actors looking for an easy target. SMBs are often not up-to-date on the latest patches, security measures and training, and the typical lack of robust business-continuity practices makes them ideal victims for ransomware attacks.
At the same time, cyber threats are becoming more advanced and targeted. Phishing schemes are now optimized with generative AI, malware links often lead to pages nearly indistinguishable from trusted brands, and ransomware attacks focus on hobbling businesses rather than stealing data, because ransoming data is easier and more lucrative than trying to sell it.
Any of these threats can have a devastating impact on a business, from financial losses to reputational damage.
Today’s security challenges require a complex array of protections, from endpoint hardening to real-time system monitoring. Intech Southwest partners with HP to provide the most comprehensive security solutions, engineered specifically for the needs and challenges of our SMB customers.
