The SME Cybersecurity Revolution: How Coro Cracked the Code with Piers Morgan from Coro
Are small and medium-sized businesses finally getting the cybersecurity solutions they deserve, or are they still being left exposed?
Welcome back to Razorwire, the podcast where I investigate the real world challenges and breakthroughs in cybersecurity, bringing you the stories and advice of the industry’s leading minds. I’m Jim, and in this episode, I’m sitting down with Piers Morgan - no, not that Piers Morgan - who serves as Senior Vice President and General Manager for EMEA at Coro cybersecurity. We’re exploring the future of endpoint security for small and medium-sized businesses and why this sector is seeing a big shift in how security is delivered, priced and managed.
In our conversation, we get frank about the tangled mess of security tools, why dashboards are driving everyone mad and how the industry’s obsession with complexity has left the “forgotten” mid-market crying out for help. Piers shares how Coro is shaking up the space with unified, affordable security, without the vendor lock-in and upsell traps that so often sting growing businesses.
🛡️ "It can go up to fifteen hundred dollars a seat a year. Now, when you're timesing that by a few hundred licences and users, that's a significant amount of cash. We can manage it in one single platform... we can do it up to a tenth of the cost of what they're currently using today." – Piers Morgan, Coro
If you’re a cybersecurity professional, consultant or MSP grappling with SME security demands, you’ll hear practical insights and perhaps question a few of your own assumptions about what’s possible for the “forgotten middle” of our industry.
