Adam HilsThe presentation begins with market sizing, marketshare and the forecast, then explores the SMB security requirements that are very different from enterprise solutions.

SMBs have very different options, budgets, buying patterns, expertise levels and technical requirements for security that services their IT landscape.
Key Issues:
  • How are SMBs different from larger enterprises?
  • How can security vendors effectively go to market in the SMB space?
  • What are SMBs' greatest security needs?
