Welcome to issue 19 of IT Pro 20/20, our sister title’s digital magazine that distils the most important themes of the previous month into an easy-to-read package.

Maintaining robust cyber security is a difficult task for anyone, but smaller companies are increasingly finding themselves on the front line. At a time when almost a third of cyber attacks now involve a small business, we consider the dangers that this weak link could pose to the wider technology industry, and what steps SMBs and startups need to take to plug the gap.

Keeping with the theme of SMBs and startups, we also look at the tech startups that have thrived during lockdown, using their agility and flexibility to reshape business models and exploit unprecedented demand for services – something that every business can learn from.

The next IT Pro 20/20 will be available on 31 August – previous issues can be found here. If you would like to receive each issue in your inbox as they release, you can subscribe to our mailing list here.
