You Don’t Need a £1Million Cybersecurity Budget

Cyberattacks threaten companies of all sizes, yet many small and medium enterprises (SMEs) believe robust cybersecurity is out of reach financially. You Don’t Need a £1 Million Cybersecurity Budget provides the blueprint for SMEs to implement enterprise-level protections without breaking the bank.

In this book, cybersecurity expert, Izak Oosthuizen, demonstrates how businesses can implement robust cybersecurity on a budget. He outlines the common mistakes that leave companies vulnerable, from poor password practices to lack of backups. Izak then provides practical advice on implementing fundamental security controls like antivirus software, firewalls, access management, and encryption.

Crucially, Izak emphasizes that expensive solutions are not required. By focusing on core protections and best practices, SMEs can defend themselves from the majority of cyberattacks. The book also examines future trends and challenges associated with AI, automation, and remote work that may impact security.

Drawing on over 25 years of hands-on experience, Izak outlines the fundamentals every company needs, including antivirus and anti-malware monitoring, firewalls and intrusion prevention, access control and identity management, encryption of data at rest and in transit, and extensive backup and recovery provisions.

By leveraging these foundational controls, SMEs can defend against the majority of cyberattacks.

Don’t leave your company exposed. With Izak’s guidance, you can implement comprehensive protections tailored to your budget.
