Common SMB security gaps by Patrick Gorman

Common SMB security gaps by Patrick Gorman Small and mid-sized businesses often believe they’re “too small to be a target,” but attackers know better. In this talk, we’ll walk through the most common security gaps I see in SMB environments—like misconfigured remote access, weak identity and access controls, poor patch hygiene, insecure cloud usage, and missing logging/monitoring. We’ll break down how these weaknesses are typically exploited in real-world attacks and map them to practical, budget-friendly fixes. Attendees will leave with a clear, actionable checklist to start reducing risk the moment they get back to the office.
