Enhanced protection for SMBs

The latest CrowdStrike State of SMB Security survey lays the reality of SMB security bare. Less than half (42%) of SMBs provide their employees with regular security training, and less than half (47%) of micro-businesses have a security plan.

Couple this with the fact that attackers are rapidly turning to AI tools to help craft complex malware and attack techniques, and it really shows why SMBs are such an easy target. Moreover, just 11% of SMBs have access to AI-powered security tools.

The new suite of tools provided through NordLayer includes CrowdStrike Falcon, which provides an AI powered tool for threat detection and threat intelligence.

Moreover, the Device Control functionality allows small IT teams to monitor all endpoints and their connected USB and peripheral devices. iOS and Android devices can also be protected through CrowdStrike Falcon.

NordLayer provides a business VPN to encrypt all your internet traffic for both office-based and remote workers, and zero-trust network access (ZTNA) to verify users before they can access business tools and devices, prevent unauthorized entry. For more information, visit the NordLayer site.
