Why this function matters
Protect focuses on the safeguards that keep attackers out and limit impact if they get in. For SMBs, the wins often come from doing the basics consistently—enforcing MFA, keeping systems patched, protecting data, and training people to spot phishing.
From your results: You compared your Protect score to the benchmark on the CPMS results page. Even good scores usually reveal quick wins that reduce day-to-day risk.
