Right-Sized Security: Enterprise Protection for Mid-Market Budgets

Cybersecurity expectations have risen sharply, but mid-market budgets and teams haven’t kept pace. Attackers now use automation and scale to target organizations that sit below the enterprise tier but above small business defenses.

This whitepaper addresses the growing gap between security expectations and operational capacity. It explains why adding more tools often increases cost without reducing risk, and how mid-market organizations can achieve meaningful protection through better operating models.

Rather than focusing on product checklists, the paper shows how to design security programs that are realistic, resilient, and economically defensible.

What you will learn

This whitepaper helps you understand:

1. Why mid-market organizations are now primary targets for modern cyberattacks
2. The true cost of breaches compared to sustained prevention and response
3. Why security staffing shortages make in-house SOCs impractical for many teams
4. How compliance requirements like GDPR and PCI-DSS drive security priorities
5. Why 24/7 monitoring and response are no longer optional
6. How managed security models reduce risk without enterprise-level spend

Who this is for

This whitepaper is for you if:

• You lead IT, security, or risk in a mid-market organization
• You’re accountable for security outcomes without enterprise resources
• Alert fatigue, tool sprawl, or staffing gaps are limiting effectiveness
• You need to balance compliance, resilience, and cost
• Leadership expects stronger security, but budgets are constrained

If you’re trying to protect a growing organization with finite resources, this paper offers a practical path forward.
