Baseline view: Network latency is 12ms and 0 operational alerts are firing. But without proactive security inspection, silent intrusion dwell time averages 200+ days.
Practitioner Insight: Quora engineers emphasize that enterprise $250k firewalls are overkill for SMBs. Effective defense starts with universal MFA, patch discipline, USB restriction, isolated dirty browsers, and routine backup restoration drills.
