Information and general cyber-security are becoming more and more important for business especially in the era of BYOD and cloud computing. Also, approaches of cybersecurity are differed from small business and big organization because of their business model volume. Latest technology like cloud-based SaaS, LaaS and PaaS offering are their approaches to information security. Similar security needs but different budget and The cloud is making the cybersecurity difference blur. Similar security needs but different budgets: - Big Enterprises and SMBʼs generally share similar security needs with the risk of data exposure being

commensurate with type of work performed by the business. For instance. HIPPA considerations place a large onus on patient data security at a small health clinic compared to a large enterprise involved with managing some form of less critical data so sometimes the size of the company doesnʼt matter as much as the desired security level for the data. The same types of security risk impact business whatever their size. Enterprises bring a larger scale to the equation but hacking email phishing and mobile malware donʼt discriminate based on the number of employees or the size of the IT budget. The cloud is making the cyber-security difference blur:- Many SMBʼs are

beginning to leverage a variety of cloud-based services to manage many areas of their information technology including security in fact “enterprise-like” cybersecurity offering are a big advertising point to many PasS, LaaS, and SaaS providers. The smaller business needs to ensure that whatever security solution they choose it doesnʼt adversely impact day-to- day business operations.

As the information security consideration for the enterprise and smaller

business are remains vital for the SMB to research the available option and invest wisely. References: - Hephner, L. (2018).
