Avoid costly downtime and disruption from ransomware, advanced cyber attacks and software failures
We close the expensive gap in cyber security, making it possible for any organization to restore functionality of endpoints at scale, in minutes.
01
Why It Matters?
Threat to Productivity
When business and administrative systems are hit, your employees are left unable to perform their roles. Work doesn't get done. Customers don't get serviced. Finances are not managed.
Threat to Operations
When production lines, process control systems, building management systems, or critical national infrastructure are hit, your organisation grinds to a halt.
Products don't get made. Facilities are unusable. Civil society is impacted.
Threat to Life
When information technology assets and specialised equipment of hospital systems, medical devices, vehicles and transport systems, or military facilities are hit, then lives are at risk. Medical care can't be given. Vehicles can't be controlled. Defence personnel are exposed.
Endpoints are critical to business operations, if they aren't functioning, everything stops.
