South Africa has the third-highest number of cyber-crime victims worldwide, with more than 50% of cyberattacks being perpetrated on small/medium-sized businesses (SMEs).

As targeted security attacks grow exponentially, combating this criminal activity is becoming a critical element of every business strategy.

This along with 2-factor authentication ensures your users are secure when working from the office or from home.
