Press Release: Guardian Digital’s Managed Services Help Businesses Need VISA

Feb 24, 2022 -- Midland Park, N.J. - Guardian Digital addresses critical concerns raised by CISA for organizations to protect against an increase in data-wiping malware and other malicious cyber threats with a fully-managed email security solution that maximizes cyber resilience, adding critical additional layers of defenses against these damaging threats.

With the CISA’s recent warning that all organizations should take urgent, near-term steps to reduce the likelihood and impact of a damaging cyberattack, Guardian Digital’s fully-managed email security services act as the front line of defense against cybercriminals, offering the technology, resources, and expert guidance required to secure business email in this heightened digital threat environment. SMB’s often face a shortage of IT resources and expertise, leaving these businesses unable to heed the CISA’s advice to strengthen their email security defenses, and at increased risk of suffering an attack as a result. Guardian Digital secures businesses against advanced and emerging threats with proactive, multi-layered email protection fully supported by the expert around-the-clock monitoring, maintenance, and guidance required for the rapid detection and elimination of potential threats.

Securing Email in 2022 is a Challenge Many Businesses Are Struggling to Meet

This unprecedented ongoing pandemic has introduced an era of heightened digital risk for businesses worldwide. Many businesses, particularly SMBs, lack the resources and expertise as well as a full-time IT department to protect their organization. Even then, often the IT teams are not usually trained email security experts and thus lack the skill to secure corporate email accounts. The FBI reported that 30% of phishing attempts are opened by the targeted victims, and 40% of SMBs are targeted daily. Additionally, businesses transitioning into more remote work run the risk of an increase in mobile malware and deepfake technology attacks.

In 2021 we saw a lack of monitoring in businesses that caused data leaks and breaches, something we can expect to continue if better practices aren’t implemented. Additionally, attacks leveraged zero-day exploits and fileless malware to evade built-in cloud email security defenses. The consequences of a successful attack vary from data theft, financial loss, reputation damage, and significant downtime or worse - permanent closure.

Traditional email security methods fall short in protecting against today’s advanced and emerging attacks. Microsoft 365 built-in email protection falls short in safeguarding users and key business assets against credential phishing, account takeovers and the other dangerous threats that cloud email users face daily. Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) fails to safeguard against human error and is ineffective in anticipating incoming zero-day attacks as well as malicious URLs and attachments that are not included in static lists. EOP also lacks customizable options for businesses, which in turn limits their ability to identify malicious emails and social engineering attacks, leaving businesses vulnerable. Endpoint security solutions also have significant limitations in securing business email, as they lack ongoing system monitoring, maintenance, and support to keep assets secure and it takes 97 days on average to fully deploy endpoint security patches, leaving solutions unpatched for long periods of time. Proactive, layered third-party email protection fully supported by expert, ongoing system monitoring and maintenance - like the fully-managed email security services Guardian Digital provides - is needed to make email safe for business in this heightened modern threat environment.
