With changing work environments come changing threats.

The O Team (Acronis Partners) • Jan 05, 2023

The sophistication of attacks such as malware has evolved rapidly in only a few years, and the growing remote and hybrid work environment has raised the risk by significantly increasing the potential attack surface of most businesses. Hybrid work models and a digital-first economy have brought cybersecurity front and centre as a critical investment that can make or break your business.

 

This evolving threat landscape and changing work environment requires next generation cybersecurity. Detect threats earlier, react faster and stay secure.

 

The most common threat facing small businesses:

 

The number one threat faced by small businesses is a ransomware. Ransomware is a type of malicious software that encrypts your data so that you cannot view or utilise it unless you make a ransom payment to the threat actor who may or may not unencrypt it. Other commonly faced threats include malware, phishing via malicious links, and zero-days.

 

Next generation managed malware protection services:

 

This is an adaptive security service that uses a holistic approach to anticipate, respond to and constantly protect all endpoints, blocking threats but also ensuring fast recovery in case of breaches. Leveraging the experience of past threats, security solution capabilities are constantly evolving — gathering contextual information both within your systems and the environment.

 

How a Next Generation Managed Malware Protection secures your business?

 

An evolving threat landscape and a constantly changing work environment need endpoint protection against most common threats to allow your business to grow and stay secure. With next generation managed malware protection services, your business is better secured by:

 

  • Knowing your business’s risks and vulnerabilities: Knowing and being able to measure where cybersecurity risks are at any time.
  • Staying ahead of advanced threats: Staying ahead of the increasingly sophisticated threat landscape is a “make or break” for your business.
  • Extended security through a trusted IT advisor, stopping cyberattacks as you work remotely, move to the cloud and adopt new technologies. Detect threats earlier, react faster and stay secure.

 

Benefits of next generation managed malware protection for your business:

 

Block modern threats

Address the wide plethora of modern threats faced by organisations of all-sizes that can lead to severe financial and reputational damage, regulatory penalties and business disruptions. Stay protected with a managed malware protection leveraging industry certified technology, proving its effectiveness against threats in the wild. 


Strengthen your business resilience 

Business resilience is not a destination; rather, it is a process of continuous improvement and adaptation to incorporate your business’s ongoing digital transformation. Keep your business protected from disasters whether natural or cybercrime related, and increase the level of readiness to maintain critical functions and recover after any disruption.

 

Bolster regulatory compliance

Safeguard your company’s reputation and improve your regulatory compliance with the right cybersecurity that can strengthen the protection of confidentiality, integrity and availability of your customers’ data. 

 

Continuous improvement and adaptive cybersecurity

Blending artificial intelligence and cybersecurity accelerates security effectiveness in real-time, but also can evolve with your current or future business landscape.

 

Rapid recovery whenever your business needs it

Your records and data are kept secure via combining cloud backup with cyber protection — ensuring that a reliable copy of data is always available, anywhere, at any time.


Live threat intelligence alerts from a worldwide network of expert security analysts

Be prepared to face any emerging threats through a global network that monitors the threat landscape and release actionable alerts.
