For small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), cybersecurity has always been a tightrope walk. They need robust protection against ever-evolving threats, but budget constraints often force compromises. The result? Settling for less-than-ideal security solutions, leaving their valuable data and operations vulnerable.

But what if they didn’t have to settle? What if they could access the same world-class security trusted by Fortune 500 companies, without the enterprise-sized price tag?

Here’s the good news: that reality is here. Exclusive Networks in partnership with Palo Alto Networks just shattered the price barrier for Palo Alto Networks’ industry-leading Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs), making them accessible and affordable for SMBs like never before.

The Growing Threat Landscape for SMBs

Let’s face it, SMBs are prime targets for cyberattacks. A staggering 46% of all cyber breaches target businesses with fewer than 1,000 employees*. This vulnerability stems from several factors:

• Limited resources: SMBs often lack dedicated IT security teams, making them more susceptible to social engineering attacks and other human errors.
• Data troves: Even small businesses hold valuable data – customer information, financial records, intellectual property – that attackers find lucrative.
• Shift to remote work: The rise of remote work has expanded the attack surface for SMBs, creating new vulnerabilities in network security.

The Traditional SMB Security Struggle

Traditionally, SMBs have been forced to choose between:

• Affordable, but inadequate security solutions: These solutions offer minimal protection, leaving the business exposed to sophisticated attacks.
• Enterprise-grade security: While highly effective, these solutions often come with hefty price tags that are simply out of reach for most SMBs.

This “choose your poison” scenario has left many SMBs feeling frustrated and vulnerable. But with the introduction of Exclusive Networks and Palo Alto Networks’ SMB-friendly pricing, the game has changed.
