In the current digital economy, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are in the crosshairs of increasingly sophisticated cyberthreats. Ransomware, business email compromises, and phishing attacks are no longer distant risks but daily realities. Ransomware attacks are unpredictable and can target businesses at any moment. These attacks not only impact the business but also extend to the clients, used for blackmailing purposes. Against this backdrop, Timus SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) emerges as an essential tool within the modern MSP’s security stack, streamlining network access and security via a 100% cloud-based, easy-to-deploy solution that is deployable to clients in most cases in under 30 minutes1.
The Challenges Facing Channel Partners
Cyberthreat Landscape: The statistics paint a grim picture for SMEs:
- Ransomware: Among the top causes of financial losses in 2024.
- Business Email Compromises: Devastating impacts on operational continuity.
- Credential Theft: More than 50% of all breaches stem from compromised credentials, making it the most common root cause.
- Phishing Attacks: SMEs are targeted 400% more frequently than larger enterprises due to their being more vulnerable.
With limited security budgets, insufficient training, and a plethora of tools to manage, SMEs often struggle to achieve robust cybersecurity. Add to this the complexity of data living in the cloud and on-prem, hybrid workforces, diverse devices, and business-critical SaaS applications, and the risks multiply exponentially.
Why Traditional Solutions Fall Short
Legacy enterprise solutions are ill-suited for SMEs. These tools are:
- Complex: Overwhelming to configure and manage.
- Inefficient: Require significant investments in training and maintenance.
- User-Unfriendly: High friction leads employees to bypass security measures, creating vulnerabilities and compliance gaps.
Clearly, SMEs need a solution that is both powerful and simple to deploy—this is where Timus SASE excels through its MSP partners globally.
