Jens Myrup Pedersen, professor of cyber security at the Department of Electronic Systems at Aalborg University, warns that small and medium-sized companies are particularly vulnerable to cyberattacks due to a lack of liquidity to handle security procedures. He states: "In many cases, small and medium-sized companies do not have the liquidity needed to attract the right skills to handle security procedures and processes." He also predicts that the upcoming NIS2 directive from the EU could disqualify companies that do not meet necessary safety requirements, leading to significant financial losses.
