Cybercrimes are no longer reserved for the Fortune 500. It’s more than just major banks, national retailers, and hospital networks at risk. Hackers are now employing an equal opportunity approach, targeting organizations of all sizes. But while the largest of enterprises might have the resources and infrastructure to take on the most malicious threat actors, are you equipped to do the same?
We’ve always feared the answer to that question. This is why ĢTV is driven to create greater equity in cybersecurity. In other words, we believe every organization, especially small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), should have access to the leading tools to take on cybercriminals.
Because No SMB Should Face Cyber Threats Alone
If you operate an SMB, then the cybersecurity disparity is likely evident. Many security solutions, namely endpoint detection and response (EDR), are still designed for enterprises. But enterprise-level cybersecurity demands enterprise-level budgets, not to mention enterprise-level recruiting, staffing, management, IT, and so on.
That’s why we designed our EDR to cater to your unique challenges, such as limited time, budgets, and resources. Given these obstacles, it’s unlikely you can—or want to—focus on cybersecurity all day. Therefore, we took the burden of threat management off of your shoulders. By coupling our technology with a people-powered, 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC), ĢTV Managed EDR does all the hard work on your behalf, delivering around-the-clock monitoring, management, and remediation, all backed by real experts.
To better demonstrate why ĢTV Managed EDR is the ideal solution for SMBs, we looked at the EDR offerings of seven well-known vendors, and we've laid out the features and benefits that differentiate us from the rest.
