Too big to ignore, too small to be served: the midmarket security gap
Summary
A report by Intruder highlights a significant security gap in the midmarket, where organizations are attractive targets due to their size and data but lack the resources and sophistication of enterprise security teams. These midmarket companies often overestimate their security posture, leaving them vulnerable.
IFF Assessment
The article describes a prevalent security weakness exploited by attackers, indicating bad news for defenders facing these unprepared organizations.
Defender Context
Defenders should recognize that midmarket organizations represent a substantial attack surface that may be less well-defended than larger enterprises. This segment is attractive to threat actors due to its combination of valuable assets and potentially weaker security controls, making it a prime target for various cyberattacks.
