  • Essentials Detection

    Essentials Add-on: Breach Detection

    The last line of defence

    It’s hardly news that cyber-attacks are more frequent – and more potent – than ever. But what is new, is their intelligence to outsmart traditional anti-virus systems.

    With malware able to morph into seemingly harmless content to evade your security systems, it means there’s more to fighting off cyber-attacks than updating your anti-virus and hiding behind a spam filter in the hope that your business wins a game of hide and seek.

    Unlike an anti-virus suite, that compares your files with a list of known viruses, we’ll deploy a 24x7 Breach Detection service to continuously monitor the behaviour of your files for unusual activity. This means we’ll get automatic notification of threats to your business before they can damage your files – or your business - even if they evade front line defences.

    Why you might want this:

    ✔️ Peace of mind 24x7x365 monitoring

    ✔️ Rapid response to unusual file activity

    ✔️ Protection from malware that has breached your front line defences
