60% of small businesses close within six months of a cyberattack.

Cyber threats are evolving, and small to mid-sized businesses are becoming prime targets. Traditional security solutions—like standalone antivirus and firewalls—leave dangerous gaps that attackers exploit. Businesses need a proactive, unified approach to threat detection and response.

In this episode of Perimeter Perspective, hosts Michael Moore and Alyssa Birchfield break down Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR)—what it is, how it works, and why SMBs need a security strategy that extends beyond endpoints to cover cloud applications, user identities, and networks.

What You’ll Learn:

• The biggest security risks SMBs face and why traditional tools aren’t enough.
• How MXDR connects security signals across endpoints, networks, and cloud applications to stop attacks before they escalate.
• The role of AI-driven automation in reducing false positives and enabling faster response times.
• How businesses can simplify security operations while strengthening their defenses.

Cybersecurity doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Learn how MXDR can protect your business without adding complexity. Subscribe, share this episode, and visit NextPerimeter.com for more insights on modern IT and cybersecurity.
