Semtech has introduced hybrid cloud capabilities to its AirLink routers, combining the scalability of cloud technology with the control of on-premise infrastructure. This allows businesses to scale up operations while maintaining security. The hybrid cloud enables businesses to have full control over their cellular-connected networks, reducing the risk of remote hacking. By integrating a business' public key infrastructure (PKI), companies retain control over their environment and can separate duties and audit the management system. Semtech's device-to-cloud security strategy sets a new industry standard for security and control. The hybrid cloud solution offers the benefits of on-premise security services and the scalability of the cloud, making it an easy-to-implement and cost-effective way for enterprises to build their zero-trust security framework.

SMB owners juggle numerous priorities — from cash flow and talent recruitment to technology investments aimed at boosting productivity. Through that lens, cybersecurity may appear as an added cost rather than a direct contributor to growth and revenue. While on-premises solutions may seem like the more familiar choice, the cloud offers a more flexible and scalable way to manage security compared to on-prem solutions. AWS's survey showed around 30% of respondents admitted to understanding their company's security, risk, and compliance requirements but were unsure how to manage them. A further 40% cited a lack of skilled staff as a barrier to investing in security. There are several ways for SMBs to address that skills gap, including focused training for their existing staff and leveraging expertise from others for robust security solutions. [def6c1e2]
