Current Cyber Security Challenges and Threat Landscape
Cyber threats have changed.
Attackers no longer focus on breaking systems. They target people, identities and misconfigurations, knowing SMEs often lack time, tools or visibility to spot issues early.

What SmartCare Protect Matters
For Scottish SMEs, the threat landscape has shifted.
Criminals target small and mid-sized organisations precisely because legacy tools can’t keep up. It’s not just about keeping up. It’s about moving ahead with purpose.
SmartCare Protect gives you:
A modern security foundation
Clear, transparent tiers
Compliance support without the headache
Tools that scale as your business grows
Peace of mind that your cyber security is being handled
Common challenges include:
Phishing and impersonation attacks
These attacks are designed to look legitimate, tricking staff into handing over access or approving actions before anyone realises something is wrong.
Stolen credentials and abused identities
Once attackers gain valid login details, they can move quietly through systems without triggering traditional security alarms.
Unpatched systems and known vulnerabilities
Outdated software creates easy entry points for attackers who actively scan for weaknesses that have already been documented and exploited elsewhere.
Growing compliance pressure
Regulatory requirements are increasing, and many businesses struggle to prove they are secure, compliant, and audit-ready at all times.
Limited in-house cyber expertise
Most SMEs do not have dedicated security teams, making it difficult to spot risks early or respond confidently when incidents occur.
