As the digital environment develops, cyber incidents have increased, and Small and medium- sized enterprises (SMEs) have become the most vulnerable to cyber threats. Due to the limited resources, SME cannot have the best cybersecurity protection mechanisms in place. This research assumes that the best solution is the formation of an AI as a Service (AI-SaaS). This platform is designed to offer SMEs a complex, sound, and cost-efficient cybersecurity solution that will be backed up by enhanced machine learning and data processing. The AI as a Service platform that is proposed in this paper will be designed to provide real-time threat detection, prevention, and also handling of incident management aspects. Because of constant threat development and change, the platform will update its mechanisms to defend itself from threats. In addition, it will enable SMEs to obtain prescriptive intelligence and trends useful in planning and executing total company security plans. It is through this approach that democratizing these innovative yet powerful cybersecurity technologies that this research seeks to adds on to the creation of stronger digital environments for SMEs. Keywords: artificial intelligence as a service, security, small to medium enterprises, artificial neural networks, data mining, protection, prevention.
