Overview
Only 14% of SMBs believe they’re truly prepared to defend against cyberattacks, yet 46% were hit in 2025. Nearly 46% of IT security leaders admit their organizations rarely make meaningful changes to their security strategy, even after a breach. That's an inertia trap! And the risk doesn’t stop at your perimeter. 30% of 2025 data breaches involved a third party, vendor, or partner, double the number from 2024. A clear signal that traditional third-party risk management is failing.
A firewall blocks ports. A consultant protects the business. Without a structured security program, companies operate reactively, fixing vulnerabilities after attackers already know about them. Kratikal works as a strategic cyber security consultant who helps organizations identify risks, prioritize investments, and implement measurable protection programs, other than just installing security software.
