About SMB Cybersecurity Advisors LLC
The problem is real. The resources are free. The expertise is proven.
Why We Exist
There are over 33 million small businesses in the United States. Nearly half of all cyberattacks target them — yet the vast majority operate without security policies, without trained staff, and without any plan for a breach. Enterprise cybersecurity exists. SMB cybersecurity, built specifically for organizations without IT departments, largely did not.
SMB Cybersecurity Advisors LLC was founded to change that. We develop and distribute free, practical security resources — the SMB Cybersecurity Framework and a free video training course — and offer consulting for businesses ready to implement with expert guidance.
Our conviction: Professional-grade cybersecurity should not be a privilege reserved for large corporations. Every U.S. small business — regardless of budget or technical staff — deserves access to practical, actionable security guidance.

“I’ve worked with organizations ranging from technology startups to government agencies. What I’ve learned is consistent: the most dangerous vulnerabilities in any organization are organizational, not technical. Small businesses don’t need the most advanced tools — they need clarity, documented processes, and people who understand what to do when something goes wrong. That’s what this framework and this course are built to provide.”— Iurii Zhurov, Founder
Our Approach
Show, Don't Tell
We open every engagement with real incident cases from your industry. Theory alone doesn't drive behavior change. Seeing how attackers operated against businesses like yours creates urgency and alignment.
Organization Before Technology
The most dangerous vulnerabilities in SMBs are organizational, not technical. We focus on building processes, policies, and accountability first. Technology then amplifies and enforces those processes.
Affordable and Actionable
Every recommendation is evaluated against a simple test: can your business actually do this? We recommend solutions you can implement and afford — not the most advanced tool on the market.
Based in Florida
