Security for the 99%: Building Cyber Defenses Beyond the Fortune 500
Protecting the 99%: Discover how small and mid-sized businesses can build strong cybersecurity defenses without Fortune 500 budgets. Practical, scalable, and smart security.
October 9, 2023

Introduction: Cybersecurity Has a Visibility Problem

Cybersecurity conferences, product launches, and analyst reports love to talk about the Fortune 500. Their problems. Their risks. Their budgets.

But the digital world isn’t just built by tech giants or global banks. It runs on logistics companies in Madurai, co-operative banks in Coimbatore, schools in Erode, and NGOs in every corner of the country.

So why is so much of cybersecurity designed only for the top 1%?

Who’s Protecting the Majority?

If you look at who’s actually exposed to cyber threats today:

  • Small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs)
  • Community banks and co-ops
  • Regional hospitals and schools
  • Local governments and municipal systems

These organizations make up the vast majority of digital infrastructure—but are often underserved, underprotected, and overwhelmed when it comes to security.

The irony? They’re often the easiest to breach—and the hardest to recover.

The Security 1% vs. the Reality 99%

Let’s break it down:

The 1%

The 99%

Dedicated CISO, security team, 24/7 SOC

Overburdened IT person who also handles payroll

Layered defenses across cloud, endpoint, identity

Basic firewall and maybe antivirus

Security-by-design practices

Security-by-patchwork, if at all

Budget for audits, red teams, and compliance

Budget for staying afloat and meeting payroll

It’s not just an economic divide—it’s a support and design divide.

Security Doesn’t Have to Be Complex to Be Strong

Many small organizations feel they don’t “deserve” strong security because:

  • They’re not big enough
  • They don’t have the right tech team
  • They can’t afford brand-name tools

But security isn’t about size—it’s about fit.

At Raksha Technologies, we believe that strong security can be:

  • Modular: Start small. Grow sensibly.
  • Managed: Let experts monitor and respond on your behalf.
  • Understandable: No jargon. No mystery. Just clarity.
  • Affordable: Essentials over excess.

How Raksha Serves the 99%?

We’ve built our practice around those who rarely get a seat at the cybersecurity table.

Here’s what we offer:

  • Pre-configured protection bundles (firewall, endpoint, backup, SOC-lite)
  • Regional threat modeling tailored to your business type and geography
  • Awareness workshops for teams with little-to-no technical background
  • Flexible engagement models—monthly, managed, advisory

You don’t need to hire 10 experts. You need one trusted partner who treats your security as seriously as any big enterprise would.

The Bigger Picture: Ecosystem-Level Security

If the 99% are left insecure, the 1% are still at risk.

Phishing emails don’t care about turnover. Malware doesn’t care about your org chart.
A compromised school system or SME supplier can lead to ripple effects across supply chains, governments, and banks.

This isn’t charity—it’s resilience.

Closing: Let’s Redefine Whom Cybersecurity Is For

The future of security isn’t in more elite tools for elite buyers.
It’s in building a secure digital foundation for everyone else.

Because a strong house starts at the base—and that base is the 99%.
