Cyber incidents are no longer confined to large enterprises. Over the past two years, the pattern of attacks has shifted — ransomware operators and phishing campaigns are now specifically targeting smaller organizations precisely because their defences are weaker and their recovery capability is limited.
For SMEs in Cyprus operating in financial services, professional services, or real estate, the stakes are significant. A ransomware incident affecting a firm without tested backups or a recovery plan can mean days or weeks of downtime — and in some cases, permanent data loss.
A practical baseline does not require a large security budget. It requires the right priorities.
The foundations of a resilient SME environment are well understood: multi-factor authentication on all accounts, a tested backup with an offsite or cloud copy, a patched and monitored endpoint estate, and clear procedures for what happens when something goes wrong.
InsightX works with organizations in Cyprus to build these foundations in a practical, measurable way — without unnecessary complexity.
