NETGEAR has introduced Exium, a tailored security solution for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Exium aims to be the industry’s only all-in-one secure access service edge (SASE) and hybrid firewall solution designed specifically for SMEs and the managed service providers (MSPs) that support them.

According to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, SMEs faced more than 3,000 cybersecurity incidents, nearly four times as many cybersecurity incidents as large enterprises, in 2025. Despite this increased risk, many security solutions remain overly complex or fragmented, making them difficult for smaller businesses to implement and manage effectively.

“Small and medium businesses are just as exposed to cyberthreats as larger enterprises, if not more, but most security solutions are either too complicated or piecemeal for them to handle,” NETGEAR vice president of software security, Farooq Khan, says.

“By integrating Exium with our networking solutions, we’re offering SMEs easy-to-use, enterprise-grade protection. This helps empower them to counter modern threats confidently, lessening the burden on internal IT teams.”
