Small Businesses, Big Targets: How SMBs Should Navigate the Modern Ransomware Threat Landscape

The cybersecurity landscape for small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs) is increasingly challenging due to increased reliance on cloud services, remote work technologies, and third-party services. This digital expansion, combined with the evolution of ransomware tactics, has made SMBs prime targets for attacks.

Further, the democratization of cybercrime through the Ransomware-as-a-Service model has lowered the entry barrier for less skilled criminals, leading to a rise in frequency and sophistication of ransomware attacks. Newly exposed blind spots, such as cloud environments and out-of-scope endpoints, provide easy entry points for attackers, escalating the vulnerability of SMBs.

In this white paper, we share findings that highlight:

• The current SMB ransomware threat landscape and the evolution of ransomware tactics, including which industries are most at-risk of being impacted by ransomware threats
• Key learnings on the impact of ransomware, based on threat research from eSentire and CrowdStrike
• Why SMBs need to adopt proactive, multi-layered cybersecurity programs to stop ransomware threats
• Recommendations on how SMB organizations can build resilience against the ransomware threat landscape
