The latest Sophos Threat Report 2025 reveals an alarming trend: small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are increasingly in the crosshairs of cybercriminals.

Key findings:

– In 2024, ransomware accounted for 70% of incidents among small businesses and over 90% among mid-sized companies
– 25% of initial breaches originated from outdated or misconfigured network devices
– SaaS platforms and corporate email are increasingly exploited for phishing and malware distribution

These numbers make one thing clear: proactive cybersecurity is no longer optional.

Are your network devices up to date?

Sophos Threat Report 2025

In a world where cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated every day, adopting a layered security approach is no longer optional — it’s essential.
The “Defense in Depth” strategy, inspired by military tactics, is built on a simple principle: don’t rely on a single defense line. Instead, deploy multiple coordinated layers that slow down, detect, and block threats at every stage of an attack.

Key defense layers include:

– A secure perimeter with firewalls and intrusion prevention systems
– Intelligent EDR solutions to protect endpoints
– Network segmentation to contain lateral movement
– Zero Trust and multi-factor authentication
– 24/7 centralized MDR monitoring
– Rapid, structured incident response

But the real challenge? Integrating all these layers into a holistic, adaptive, and continuously updated strategy.

The article by ICT Security Magazine explains this approach clearly and in depth:

Cyber Defence in Depth

According to Veeam’s latest report, “From Risk to Resilience: 2025 Ransomware Trends and Proactive Strategies”, 82% of organizations experienced at least one ransomware attack in the past year.

Attackers are increasingly targeting backup systems — the very last line of defense.

The report highlights that the most resilient companies:
– Follow strict cyber hygiene, with ongoing employee training and awareness programs
– Use cloud backups or managed backup services
– Perform regular recovery tests to ensure data can truly be restored when needed

The message is clear: organizations must shift from reactive security to a proactive cyber resilience strategy to keep up with ransomware threats.

At 7networks, a significant portion of our 7n MANAGED SERVICES is focused on backup and recovery.

In today’s digital world, businesses need agility — and colocation is one of the solutions that offers the flexibility required.

What Is an On-Premise Data Center? An on-premise data center is fully owned and operated by a company, which handles everything from infrastructure to maintenance. The business is directly responsible for managing IT systems, performing updates, and ensuring security.

What Is a Colocation Data Center? A colocation data center is managed by a service provider that rents out space, power, and additional services to multiple clients in the same facility.
This model gives companies access to advanced, secure, up-to-date, and monitored infrastructure — without the need for large upfront investments.

Running an on-premise data center can be expensive and complex. Building and constantly upgrading the infrastructure requires significant investments and specialized expertise that may go beyond internal capabilities. Plus, keeping all resources in one location is no longer the most efficient approach.

Why Choose Colocation? Colocation offers several advantages:

• Predictable Costs: Pay only for what you need — no massive capital expenditures.
• Scalability: Easily adapt to evolving business needs by relocating or expanding.
• Ecosystem Access: Low-latency connectivity and access to a wide range of cloud and IT service providers.
• Optimized Performance: Combine colocation with cloud resources while keeping full control of your data.
• AI-Ready: Colocation data centers support advanced workloads like AI with technologies such as liquid cooling.

Our data center is located just minutes from our main office and housed in a state-of-the-art facility with a focus on energy efficiency.
Access is restricted to authorized personnel only, 24/7, with biometric scans and RFID tags.
A 24×7 motion-activated video surveillance system is also in place.

Colocation is the strategic, future-proof choice for companies seeking flexibility, performance, and scalability — without the hassle of building and managing a data center on their own.

Our 7n MANAGED datacenter services are fully customizable to match your company’s real, evolving needs. Let’s build the infrastructure that works for your future.

We’re proud to announce that in January we enhanced the efficiency and security of our data center infrastructure and services.

FortiGuard SOCaaS (Security Operations Center as a Service) is now active for all clients with resources in our data centers and for all “7n MANAGED” services.
With advanced AI-driven technologies and a dedicated team of security experts, Fortinet’s FortiGuard SOCaaS is a strategic choice to deliver the highest levels of protection and reliability.

Monitoring and threat detection are active 24/7, 365 days a year.

And there’s more. In December 2024, we increased our data center’s compute capacity, and by the end of February, we’re rolling out a further upgrade with new Cisco Nexus switches — enabling even faster access to your data.

A special thank you to all our clients who, by choosing our solutions, push us to stay ahead of the curve.
