Best Practices for Securing SOHO, Small Businesses and Branch Offices

Researchers recorded 6.06 billion malware attacks in 2023, the highest global malware attack volume since 20191 , according to the SonicWall Annual Cyber Threat Report. Malware increased 11% year-over-year, with encrypted threats increasing 117% and cryptojacking increasing 659%.

Security breaches at large enterprises such as Change Healthcare2 and AT&T3 capture major headlines, yet 43% of cyberattacks are aimed at small businesses4. Distributed enterprises are also susceptible to cyberattacks. These organizations typically have IT and security resources centralized in one location, such as headquarters, and fewer resources at others.

IT and security teams face challenges such as managing increased workload with limited resources, inconsistent visibility across different security layers, and shortage of existing cyber skills5.

Discover best practices, security tips and hidden gems that lower your total cost of ownerships from SonicWall, an industry leader in cybersecurity with more than 30 years of expertise, on how to protect your SOHO, branch offices and IoT devices .

The Strategic Imperative for Boundless Cybersecurity

A new “business normal” has arrived for each and every enterprise, organization, business and government agency. In this new reality, everyone is mobile, everyone is remote and everyone is less secure.
