Minimise risk

IT teams in SMEs are overstretched.
But why?

As an IT professional in an SME, you are fighting against a growing list of tasks, responsibilities and problems. Many of these are due to manual security processes. We know how daunting this can be.

Here are the biggest challenges that are limiting your team’s full potential.

Limited security expertise

You’re expected to manage security but without specialised know-how you often fall back on slower, manual processes. This increases your team’s workload and leaves systems vulnerable.

Complex cybersecurity tools

The traditional tools designed to protect your business can be complex. Expert knowlege and skills are hard to find. This creates extra manual effort that detracts from more critical tasks.

Rising threats. Shrinking resources

Disruptive cyber threats are increasing. Your team and budget is not. This makes it tough to stay ahead and scale operations without getting bogged down in manual interventions.

Tight budgets limit options

You know your business’ cbersecurity is essential. Tight budgets restrict your choices. This forces you to rely on outdated, manual processes that further strain your team and reduce morale.

You’re not alone in feeling this way. But there are solutions that can ease your load and help protect your business. Without breaking the bank.

Cut through the complexity with
CloudGuard PROTECT Managed XDR

Cybersecurity can feel overwhelming. Especially for overstretched IT teams in SMEs. Traditional approaches often rely on manual processes, leading to fatigue and gaps in coverage.

Outcomes that make a positive difference

Thankfully, Our Managed XDR service instantly transforms your security operations, helping you overcome these challenges and taking things to the next level.

Solve the talent gap

Our combination of AI, automation and humans eliminates the steep learning curve normally required to run cybersecurity services, and reduces the need for you to hire difficult-to-find cyber skills.

Traditional cybersecurity services are complex. Our managed XDR service isn’t. We connect all your business’ security data, analyse it, and configure it into easily digestible, actionable dashboards.

Catch what others miss

With fully integrated threat intelligence data feeds as standard, you’ll be instantly proactively protected against a wider range of devious threats compared to traditional cybersecurity solutions.
