Prompted by the <a href=\"https:\/\/aboveit.fi\/en\/administrative-security\/\">NIS2 Directive<\/a>, some sold a package \u2013 various technical cybersecurity solutions as an easily purchasable whole, claiming to meet all the different requirements of the cybersecurity directive. A large portion of organizations that bought these solutions still don&#8217;t grasp the full scope, instead relying entirely on Windows workstations, Microsoft 365 environments, and their basic configurations. These are precisely the areas where people often shrug and say, &#8216;they&#8217;re perfectly fine for us.&#8217; Yet, the entire business practically depends on them.   <\/p>\n<p>In reality, most cybersecurity risks for SMEs could already be technically resolved quite straightforwardly:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"669\" data-end=\"744\">\n<p data-start=\"671\" data-end=\"744\">Ensure updates for operating systems and third-party applications<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"745\" data-end=\"817\">\n<p data-start=\"747\" data-end=\"817\">Remove admin rights from daily use and implement controlled access only when necessary<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"745\" data-end=\"817\">\n<p data-start=\"747\" data-end=\"817\">Configure device firewalls correctly<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"920\" data-end=\"1006\">\n<p data-start=\"922\" data-end=\"1006\">Implement EDR-level endpoint protection<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1008\" data-end=\"1249\">The problem is often not a lack of expertise, but a fragmented understanding: bits of information from here and there. The overall picture and risk management are not fully grasped. This is compounded by unhelpful hype, sales pitches, and buzzwords. Instead, the focus should be on making concrete decisions: Which settings will we implement in our daily operations \u2013 how, and in what order?   <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a202a1c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a202a1c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ade27f2\" data-id=\"ade27f2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-141dd36 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"141dd36\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Above IT Delivers!<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-141b2a3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"141b2a3\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f1484d0\" data-id=\"f1484d0\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-108fe18 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"108fe18\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element-overlay\">\n<p><span class=\"break-words tvm-parent-container\"><span dir=\"ltr\">We are organizing a <em>free<\/em> technical training on December 4, 2025, from 1 PM to 3 PM, on the topic of <strong>&#8220;SME Cybersecurity Without Hype&#8221;<\/strong>.
