Cybersecurity for Small and Medium Enterprises Starts with Strategy

Cybersecurity for small and medium enterprises is more critical than ever. SMEs face the same evolving threats as large corporations—but with fewer internal resources. That’s why it’s critical to implement a scalable, modern approach to security that balances protection with productivity.

At Trofeo, we help SMBs adopt proven security frameworks, streamline operations, and reduce risk—without adding complexity. Here’s how to protect your business in today’s evolving threat landscape.

Embrace Zero Trust for a More Resilient Security Foundation

One of the most effective strategies in cybersecurity for small and medium enterprises is adopting a Zero Trust model. This framework dramatically reduces risk and strengthens protection across your environment.

Key elements of Zero Trust for SMBs include:

• Strong authentication and device compliance: Ensure access is limited to authorized users and healthy devices.
• Real-time visibility: Monitor the health of every device connected to your network.
• Unified identity management: Protect cloud apps, and enable secure hybrid work.
• Least privilege access: Only give users the access they need—nothing more.

Secure Your Endpoints—Your First Line of Defense

Endpoints are a common entry point for attacks. Trofeo recommends tools like Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to strengthen protection across devices.

Key capabilities:

• Advanced threat detection and response
• AI-driven prevention of ransomware and malware
• Streamlined endpoint configuration and updates

With Trofeo, you can simplify device management while boosting frontline protection.

Your data is your most valuable asset. Microsoft Purview helps you identify, govern, and secure sensitive data across cloud and on-prem environments.
