Understanding Cyber Threats
Cyber threats are a growing concern for organizations of all sizes. The increasing number of adversaries, the cost of a data breach, and the rise of remote working all contribute to the need for always-on cybersecurity measures.
The Increasing Number of Adversaries
The digital landscape is constantly evolving, and with it, the number of cyber adversaries is on the rise. According to the CrowdStrike 2024 Global Threat Report, there were 34 newly named adversaries in 2023, marking a 75 percent increase in cloud intrusions. This surge in threats underscores the necessity for organizations to stay vigilant and proactive in their cybersecurity efforts. Managed IT services, like those offered by Beardon, provide the continuous monitoring and real-time threat detection needed to stay ahead of these ever-evolving dangers.
The Cost of a Data Breach
The financial repercussions of a data breach can be devastating. The IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2023 revealed that the average cost of a data breach globally was $4.45 million. These staggering numbers highlight the critical importance of investing in robust cybersecurity measures to protect data and prevent breaches. With Beardon’s proactive IT services, you can mitigate these risks and safeguard your business from potentially crippling financial losses.
Importance of Data Protection
What is Data Protection, and Why is it Important?
Data protection involves safeguarding important data from corruption, compromise, or loss. It ensures that data remains accessible and usable for its intended purpose, even in the event of data inaccessibility or unusability. Effective data protection strategies encompass traditional data protection, data security, and data privacy. These measures guarantee that data is not only protected from unauthorized access but also complies with legal and regulatory requirements. By investing in robust data protection measures, organizations can ensure data availability, maintain data security, and protect their operations from the potentially devastating effects of data loss. Beardon’s managed IT services provide comprehensive data protection solutions, confirming your data is secure, accessible, and compliant with all relevant regulations.
Top Benefits of Proactive Managed IT Services
Proactive Cybersecurity: Fully Managed Cybersecurity Services, Constant Vigilance, Immediate Response
Cyber threats never take the day off, pause for holidays, or follow a 9 to 5 schedule, and neither should your cybersecurity strategy. Specialized analysts in a security operations center (SOC) work around the clock to monitor and respond to security incidents. Beardon’s managed cybersecurity services provide constant monitoring and real-time threat detection, catching and addressing vulnerabilities before they escalate into breaches.
Just imagine you’re enjoying a Saturday outdoors with your family. You received–but missed–an alert from your business about a suspicious login attempt because your phone was in the house away from you. You come in an hour later and quickly start to stress, but realize cybersecurity experts immediately addressed it before it could compromise sensitive customer data. Along with the alert, you got a resolution follow-up from Beardon that put you right at ease. This approach with proactive IT services ensures your business data protection is on-point and continuously updated against emerging threats.
Enjoy your time off; after all, that’s why you are partnering with Beardon.
