Running business in difficult times
What should you know?
As much as 93 percent of companies are taking actions related to digital transformation, and among them, many consider cloud computing as the main driver of technological changes. This solution not only allows for increased flexibility and gaining a competitive advantage but also significantly enhances the level of data security and critical systems.
Modern enterprises are willingly making investments related to data security and ensuring business continuity. This is due to the increasing number of cyberattacks in recent years. Companies are increasingly opting for dedicated security solutions.
Many possibilities of hacker attacks
I think it is important to honestly say that no one can predict all possible types of attacks, and therefore, there is no single, 100% effective protection. Nevertheless, in our conversations with representatives of various companies, both large enterprises and SMEs, we see the need for building increasingly better security measures. A timely response can save valuable time and choose the fastest route for incident handling. That’s why a well-prepared, coordinated team and properly implemented procedures are crucial for improving the level of security and ensuring business continuity. Hence, there is growing interest in services such as Security Operations Center – emphasized Adam Matyaszek, Key Account Manager at Polcom.
Companies opt for services like Polcom SOC because many of them struggle with the inability to provide their employees with adequate security training, often due to financial reasons.
Hackers do not work 8 hours a day
Hacker attacks most commonly occur outside of business hours, which is why continuous monitoring of systems and applications is essential for swiftly detecting incidents. It is also necessary to have round-the-clock access to specialists who can immediately respond to an attack. It may seem that only large, actively operating corporations can afford such services. However, the reality is somewhat different, as emphasized by Adam Matyaszek.
These services are not reserved solely for large companies. Smaller firms that choose to utilize Polcom’s Security as a Service offerings no longer have to worry about many things. They don’t need to invest in additional hardware, hire and maintain staff, or specialize extensively in this area. It is a convenient and optimal way to ensure the security of corporate data without the need for building extensive expertise in this field.
