Cyberattacks against French SMEs have risen sharply in recent years. Many companies mistakenly believe they aren't targets: in reality, SMEs are often targeted precisely because their security is, on average, less robust than that of large corporations.

Threats specific to SMEs

Ransomware

Ransomware is one of the main threats facing SMEs. Attackers encrypt the company's files and demand a ransom to unlock them.

Phishing

A large share of cyberattacks begin with a phishing email. A security policy that includes a VPN reduces the exposure of certain internal systems.

Industrial espionage

Competitors or malicious actors may try to intercept sensitive business communications. The encryption provided by a VPN protects these exchanges in transit.

Business use cases

1. Secure remote access

Remote employees connect to the company network through an encrypted tunnel, as if they were physically at the office.

2. Protecting employees on the move

Traveling sales staff, business trips — the VPN protects the connection on all types of networks, including public Wi-Fi.

3. Securing data transfers

Sending confidential files, customer data, intellectual property: encrypting traffic reduces the risk of interception.
