Information Technology Cybersecurity
Securing a critical flaw in your cyber-architecture
Mix remote work with a pandemic and you get a brutal combination of security dependencies, threats, and budgetary constraints. Expected to do even more with less, IT teams are stretched to the max and the security liabilities are piling up. Now, a sharp increase in email-borne cyberattacks is very much paralleling the rise in remote work.
It’s time to lock it down.

The larger your attack surface area, the more weak leaks leave gaps for cyber criminals. The UN reports that phishing attempts have increased 350% since the pandemic, and 96% of threats begin with email, reports Verizon.
The Opportunity:
Become Essential
Be the trusted provider your customers need
IT service and software providers that are able to affordably scale email and file transfer security will come out ahead. They’re better able to reallocate much-needed capital, seize on growth opportunities, and communicate freely and securely with vendors and customers.
