On May 1st, NeoSystems dissolved overnight. No warning to clients. No transition plan. No path forward for the contractors who trusted them with their CUI, their compliance programs, and in many cases, their data inside the "NeoEnclave" platform.

For defense contractors who were mid-stream on their CMMC journey, this created a real problem.

Businesses can no longer afford to relegate cybersecurity to the bottom of the budget, not with cyberattacks targeting any business regardless of size, strict security, and privacy regulations surrounding data. Businesses with a small or limited budget have the advantage of partnering with a managed IT services provider (MSP) for their cybersecurity needs.

Cyber security is something you hear about a lot these days. Sometimes it’s thrown around to scare business owners, other times it has proven to be a cautionary tale, one that small businesses can learn from to fend themselves from online threats that can leave devastating impact.
