This paper discusses the dual challenge SMEs face: availing the use of technology while parceling on security to counter the constraints in resource use. But it also looks at such threats as advanced with intelligence, the future of AI and quantum computing and its security implications. Cybersecurity is not only an IT problem for SMEs but also a strategic area to maintain digital transformation. Challenges outline key recommendations concluding that cybersecurity has to be updated in order to protect the digital future of SMEs. Cloud solutions and development are fundamental to growth across SMEs in the today’s market. Nevertheless, they introduce numerous cybersecurity threats to organizations and their outcomes can negatively affect operational and reputational aspects. This paper focuses on the different issues that SMEs encounter in cloud deployment, digitalization and security risk management and provides recommendations on preventing or overcoming the challenges.
