How operators can capture the growing SME cyber-security market
Selling ICT services to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will be the main source of incremental revenue for operators, while their connectivity revenue will be effectively flat. However, operators will only earn a small share of revenue from the largest and fastest-growing of these services – public cloud solutions. Operators will hold a much larger, and growing, share of the SME cyber-security market.
In this podcast, Matt Small and Catherine Hammond, experts in SME services, discuss why operators are in a good position to sell cyber-security solutions to SMEs and what the challenges are when doing this. Matt and Catherine also offer some recommendations for operators that have established enterprise security brands and for those that are mostly new to offering security.
