Strengthening Cybersecurity with Managed Edge Security Protection

If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you have a complex IT setup across multiple sites and a remote workforce that you’re supporting and need to stay secure. It’s also likely you have critical data protection compliance requirements that you need to follow.

As businesses, especially mid-market ones, continue to tap into the benefits of remote and mobile working, the security around this can fall into the dark. With so many apps and services being used from different devices and locations, the visibility and control that you have over it all can get lower and lower. You know the risks, and need a simple but effective way to secure your growing business. One great way, is Managed Edge Security Protection.

In this blog, we’ll show you how this solution offered by our team at ASC can help your mature business to stay secure, compliant, and online. Let’s jump in!

Why Cybersecurity is Essential for Remote and Mobile Workforces

Today’s world is hyperconnected, and just like physical security measures like locks and bolts on your doors, you also have a digital perimeter to keep secure. With work happening both on and out of your sites, you need this perimeter to protect your data and workforce, wherever they are.

Cyber threats are constantly looking for gaps and chinks in this digital armour and are using a range of tactics, including exploiting unsecured Wi-Fi networks, phishing emails, and ransomware to bypass your defenses and hurt your business and customers.

On top of this, evolving cybersecurity standards and legal compliance requirements also apply beyond your physical, on-premise IT setup. You don’t need to be told the huge financial, legal, and reputational risks, we’re sure! What’s important to know here, is that securing all of your on-site and remote IT services is key to protecting your business and keeping your focus on what matters, without risks to continuity and compliance alike.

So how can you secure your data, access to your apps, and compliance in one bundle? The solution is Managed Edge Security Protection.
