Risk management is an important part of the investors’ job. If a business they capitalize suffers significant losses due to various risks, the value of that business decreases, and the investors lose  money. Investors must consider a variety of different potential risks to organizations they are  considering as targets. Before committing funds, they’ll need to […]

It’s been one year since we’ve come out of stealth, and it’s been an incredible experience for the whole team at SolCyber. It’s heartening to see how much progress we’ve made in the relatively short time since my first blog post introduced SolCyber to the market. Our mission of enabling small to mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) […]

Venture Capital (VC) and Private Equity (PE) firms take on a lot of risk when investing in a new startup or operating business. Although it is vital to perform all necessary due diligence on any new investment, VC/PE firms shouldn’t ignore their own risk. Rather, they need to take a hard look at their own […]

Yes, small to mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) continue to prove a fruitful target for cybercriminals.  The Allianz Risk Barometer reported that cyber risks are the largest concern for companies globally in 2022. And the number of cyberattack attempts per week reached an all-time high in Q4 of 2021.  Many hacking attempts — such as spam containing […]

When it comes to cybersecurity risk – it’s not just devices and networks that are susceptible to attacks. Employees are a prime target for threat actors. Research suggests that employees of small businesses will be hit with a 350% higher level of social engineering attacks than those who work in large businesses.  Companies with a […]

Small businesses suffer 43% of all cyberattacks, according to data from Accenture, but only 14% of small businesses are ready to defend themselves. Considering that cybersecurity incidents cost businesses an average of $200,000 and that 60% of small businesses will go out of business within six months of an attack, cybersecurity should be a top-of-mind […]

In the past, Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) performed very different roles. MSPs were responsible for an organization’s IT infrastructure (storage, desktop management, backups, network, etc.), and MSSPs focused on protecting the organization against cyber threats. However, as cybersecurity becomes of increasing concern for companies, the lines between MSPs and […]

As the cyber threat landscape evolves, cybercrime is becoming more professional, leading to more frequent and sophisticated attacks. All businesses are experiencing increased cyber risk – no one is excluded.  Mergers and acquisitions can cause an even higher period of risk as cybercriminals take advantage of the confusion, disarray, and shift in processes that can […]

Remember the good old days when ransomware wasn’t so rampant across industries and all types of companies, large and small? Us too. Unfortunately, the way in which hackers are using ransomware has changed significantly in the last several years, leaving every company vulnerable. So, many companies have turned to cyber insurance to protect their bottom […]

Any investment comes with an element of risk, and when you’re conducting due diligence on a potential startup or are working to mature a company in your portfolio, cybersecurity risk should be assessed and considered as early as possible. That’s because it can quickly spiral out of control and result in financial, reputational, continuity, legal, […]

Many small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) choose not to invest in cybersecurity early on, and it’s understandable why, given its impact to the bottom line. Cybersecurity tools, software and services can be expensive, and it’s time consuming to determine which tools you need. You need to weed through more than 3,500 vendors offering solutions and […]

If there’s one thing we can definitely say about the post-2020 era is that we’re all more open to “going digital.” This comes with its own advantages and disadvantages. We are more open to remote work, and have access to more opportunities than ever, but we’re also more likely to become victims of cybercrime too. […]

Traditionally, cybersecurity fell under the jurisdiction of IT, tech, or product teams and was overseen by the CISO. While these teams are still the primary players in cybersecurity decisions, the risk landscape is expanding, causing many companies to shift their thinking when it comes to cyber risk and cybersecurity. Because potential cyberattacks pose a larger […]
