Managed AI Security for SMBs

Security and AI-governance products are beginning to target smaller organizations that cannot staff enterprise security teams. A managed-service platform for SMB AI and security risk raised $50 million, while independent practitioners are testing affordable penetration-testing offers for indie developers and small businesses. An enterprise governance launch shows the control category already exists upstream. Confirmation requires SMB customer counts, repeatable channel economics, or additional products packaging AI governance for small teams.
