Enterprises lack network security solution setup, resulting in data leakage

Cyber security risks are everywhere. A hack can cause serious losses to businesses, including breaching customer privacy and damaging business reputation. Two public organizations were previously hacked, resulting in the theft of considerable sensitive data and blackmailing. Internal documents of the organizations ended up being disclosed, including staff identification documents, company documents and photographs, etc. It reflected that sensitive and confidential information are unprotected if the IT team of the enterprise has not properly set up a cyber security solution.

However, SMBs often lack the resources and expertise to manage cyber incidents, making it difficult for them to bear huge losses for cyber security incidents. They hence need to be particularly cautious in deploying cyber incident response. EBS's Cyber Incident Response Solution is designed for SMBs and has a dedicated team trained to systematically handle ransomware attacks, business email breaches, data breaches, and financial or digital asset ransom tracking. The solution as well complies with the industry's most popular investigative procedures, SANS (System Security Research Institute), NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and ISO (International Organization for Standardization), to help customers defend against cyber security threats.
