While many SOHO owners may think they are too small to be of interest to criminals , the fact is that collectively , SOHO businesses form the largest part of the workforce around the globe . This also means that this group as a whole is a large enough sector to factor into cybercriminal plans , as they are also seen as easier targets .
There are multiple reasons for this , such as believing they cannot afford comprehensive high-tech security solutions ; the fact that they often use outdated and unsupported software and ; that business owners either do not have a strong IT education , lack the time for cybersecurity awareness training , or do not have the finances to hire IT staff .
According to Carey van Vlaanderen , CEO of ESET Southern Africa , modern online tools and business processes require cybersecurity solutions that layer multiple advanced technologies for detection ,
browsing protection , anti-phishing , and botnet protection , among others .
“ To solve these challenges , ESET , as a global provider in digital security , has launched the ESET Small Business Security , ESBS offering , specifically designed to meet the cybersecurity needs of SOHO business owners ,” she says .
ESBS facilitates safe and anonymous browsing alongside unlimited VPN security where applicable , ensuring both work and personal devices are shielded from cyber threats .
SOHO owners need to recognise that digital security does not have to mean a long and complicated shopping list , composed of individual cyber defences . SOHO users do not need to spend their time on dealing with issues like backing up their data , protecting servers , having a good password policy and installing endpoint protection on all their devices .
