Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are pivotal in the global economy,accounting for over 90% of businesses and 60% of employment worldwide. Despitetheir significance, SMEs have been disregarded from cybersecurity initiatives,rendering them ill-equipped to deal with the growing frequency, sophistication,and destructiveness of cyber-attacks. We systematically reviewed thecybersecurity literature on SMEs published between 2017 and 2023.  We focus on research discussing cyber threats, adopted controls, challenges,and constraints SMEs face in pursuing cybersecurity resilience.  Our search yielded 916 studies that we narrowed to 77 relevant papers. Weidentified 44 unique themes and categorised them as novel findings orestablished knowledge. This distinction revealed that research on SMEs isshallow and has made little progress in understanding SMEs' roles, threats, andneeds. Studies often repeated early discoveries without replicating or offeringnew insights.  The existing research indicates that the main challenges to attainingcybersecurity resilience of SMEs are a lack of awareness of the cybersecurityrisks, limited cybersecurity literacy and constrained financial resources.However, resource availability varied between developed and developingcountries. Our analysis indicated a relationship among these themes, suggestingthat limited literacy is the root cause of awareness and resource constraintissues.
