Next-generation email and endpoint protection – The game has changed!

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Want to be able to trust your inbox again? Here’s how!  

With next-generation email and endpoint protection, of course! Email and endpoint protection has changed – dramatically! Read on to find out what your business should see as the new normal. 

There’s nothing certain in life except for death, taxes….and spam! Ever since email became our number one go-to business communication tool, we’ve been plagued by hackers and spammers, Nigerian princes and too-good-to-be-true news of unexpected lottery windfalls!  

But for those of us who’ve loved email from its earliest iterations, somewhere along the way from the joy and elation of something, anything, landing in our inbox to the 235 billion emails we ping around the globe to each other today, something has changed. As our reliance on email, being online and accessible everywhere exponentially increased, so too did the number and sophistication of tools, techniques and tricks employed by hackers and fraudsters. So, to protect ourselves and our beloved inboxes we relied on a classic Firewall + Antivirus + Spam filter combo to let the good in and keep the bad out. 

Skip forward to today and the integration of machine learning, automation, and malware-as-a-service in the threat production landscape means the onslaught of malicious email-based attacks is constant and unrelenting. Their delivery is even so sophisticated they can dupe even the most seasoned IT professionals! With data breaches and the resultant financial and reputation risks massive, it’s clear – the old go-to combo has just simply, had its day.  

 “It won’t happen to us!” “Our IT guy’s onto it!” “But we’ve got antivirus installed already” and other famous last words… A reality check!  

• 62% of cyberattacks affect small-to-medium-sized businesses. 
• Nearly a quarter of the 125+ emails the average business email user receives each day are spam 
• 77% of spam email carries with it some kind of malicious file or link. 
• 91% of this spam is Phishing related, dodgy files cloaked in authentic looking context designed to dupe the time-poor, yet diligent user into giving up their credentials, exposing their business to data breaches, tampering, other malware, theft and more!  
• 41% of IT Pros report daily phishing attacks  
• 1/5 IT managers are unaware of how their most significant cyber attacks entered their organisation and as a result, were unable to protect the entry points.

How to restore trust in your inbox again! 

Despite all the risks and stats, we also still love our email. And we want to get through it – fast! But the spam we get today looks real and urgent…and it’s meant to! It’s been deliberately designed to fool us, to look like its from someone or somewhere we know and trust, appear critical to our business or industry, or trigger us to take on action something we suspect we may have just forgotten about…

With the launch of our MaxSec suite of IT security products we’ve talked a lot about the need to layer up on your business security protections by adding MFA and MDM to your security stacks. Further protecting your business essentials by bringing your email and endpoint protection into the now will give your team more assurance that they can actually trust what they see!

Why you need to move to next-gen email and endpoint protection  

There’s a reason we’re not talking about “antivirus” and “spam filtering” in isolation anymore. After all, we’re dealing with far more insidious threats than viruses that make our machines run slow or unsolicited messages peddling discount pharmaceuticals![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1562641749499{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”4/6″][vc_video link=”https://maxsum.wistia.com/medias/c0qkp8ommj”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Today’s next-gen email and endpoint protection options leverage the power of machine learning and live 24/7 global threat detection and protection networks, and are purpose built for the cloud-first world we’re living and working in today.
