Uber stock surges after Nvidia partnership announcement
SAN JOSE, Calif. - NETGEAR Inc. (NASDAQ:NTGR), a networking equipment manufacturer with nearly $700 million in annual revenue and strong financial health according to InvestingPro, introduced a new security solution called Exium designed specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The platform combines Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) technology with hybrid firewall capabilities in a unified system, according to a press release statement.
The solution aims to address growing cybersecurity challenges facing smaller businesses. The company, which maintains a healthy balance sheet with more cash than debt and a strong current ratio of 2.87, cited data from the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report indicating SMEs faced more than 3,000 cybersecurity incidents in 2025, nearly four times as many as large enterprises.
Exium integrates multiple security functions including advanced threat protection, AI-powered zero-trust network access, secure web gateway, SD-WAN, and firewall capabilities into a single platform with centralized management. The system is designed to replace fragmented security systems with a cloud-managed solution.
"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," said Farooq Khan, Vice President of Software Security at NETGEAR.
The platform is also optimized for managed service providers (MSPs) with multi-tenant management capabilities. NETGEAR acquired the Exium technology earlier this year as part of its strategy to expand enterprise offerings.
The announcement coincides with National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, which begins today. The security solution is now available to organizations worldwide through NETGEAR’s partner network. The company’s stock is currently trading near its 52-week high, reflecting strong investor confidence.
