As has been seen at the high profile attacks on Marks & Spencers, the Co-Op and others, attacks are becoming far more sophisticated than an random email with a dodgy link to an undelivered parcel.
Attackers understand businesses have become more resilient and have enhanced their attack methods. The good news is that the defence systems have also improved dramatically. This is when Managed Detection and Response and cyber training can give your business the best chance to staying safe.
Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is proactive and offers a significant advantage by going beyond traditional antivirus protection. Using artificial intelligence and machine learning to continuously monitor your business network activity for suspicious behaviour, MDR can detect threats earlier, even those unknown to traditional antivirus solutions.
