Enjoy Round-the-Clock Protection with Vox and Sophos Managed Detection and Response
In South Africa, we are unfortunately used to home invasions, and certainly there is evidence that the presence of a security company can go a long way towards keeping homes, businesses and neighbourhoods safer.
What about the online version of a break-in – how do you protect your business?
Hackers are constantly putting out feelers for companies that don’t have adequate safety and security measures to protect themselves. Some organisations try to take care of their cybersecurity themselves, which can be a bit like a homeowner relying solely on an electric fence: it might offer some protection, but is definitely not infallible all the time.
Cybercriminals – like their real-world counterparts – choose targets with a simple goal of maximising their reward while minimising their risks. As a case in point: 88% of ransomware attacks on organisations occur outside normal business hours.
So why not call in the experts and get a Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service for your business? Think of it as being like a cyber version of a security service for your company – always on guard for you, and ready to act around the clock.
