Introduction: Why This Matters for Your Business
In today’s hyper-connected world, your network is the backbone of your digital operations. From cloud-based applications to on-premise servers, remote workers, mobile apps, and IoT devices—every component relies on a secure and resilient network.
Yet, with this increasing connectivity comes expanding cyber risks. In 2025, cyberattacks are no longer targeted only at large corporations; SMEs and mid-sized businesses have become prime targets because attackers know they often lack proper security controls.
This is where strong network cybersecurity becomes non-negotiable.
