Cybersecurity was built for enterprises. Gaurav Keerthi explains what that leaves behind for the companies without a cyber team, and why their exposure becomes everyone else’s problem.

Gaurav, CEO of StrongKeep and a cybersecurity leader in the public and private sectors, joins Joe Patti and Adam Roth to break down why smaller organizations are still expected to buy, operate, and manage enterprise-style security. They discuss supply-chain risk, the “hopes and prayers” gap, cybersecurity’s IKEA problem, and what a usable baseline could look like for ordinary companies.

Episode Takeaways:

• Most organizations do not have a dedicated cybersecurity professional.
• Enterprise security programs cannot fully protect an organization when exposed suppliers remain unprotected.
• Security products need to be simpler, more bundled, and more realistic for companies without specialist teams.
• Doing something proportionate is better than doing nothing while waiting for a perfect plan.
