Managed Threat Detection
Stop threats from becoming disasters
Monitor you business 24/7
You are a small or medium-sized business with big dreams but a small, focused team. You need a partner to help you detect security attacks and risks, allowing you to address them quickly while keeping your team focused on key deliverables.
Have your business monitored 24/7 to get alerts on malicious activities and attacks, risks and vulnerabilities. The sooner you address and contain a cyber incident, the lower the impact on your business.
What is monitoring?
Cybersecurity monitoring is a threat detection strategy that continuously scans your IT ecosystem for control weaknesses, sending alerts to a security incident and event management (SIEM) system. This enables the organization to mitigate potential information security risks before they escalate to security incidents.
Why you need 24/7 threat detection?
As businesses are increasingly entrenched in technology, and cyber attacks are on the rise, organizations should develop defensive capabilities to prevent the next attack
