Pathway’s Essential Security Suite is a budget-friendly package consisting of the minimum professional cybersecurity systems, tools and practices required by smaller organizations to stay secure. Going beyond just antivirus and firewalls, it includes advanced endpoint protection, multi-factor authentication and other applications, which are vital for protecting against the most common cyber threats, such as ransomware.
What is Pathway’s Essential Security Suite?
How most Organizations Approach Security
Many organizations take a fragmented approach to cybersecurity, often relying primarily on antivirus software and firewalls for protection. This leaves you open to multiple other vulnerabilities and opportunities for bad actors to breach security.
Gaps in Defence
Without a unified strategy, even simple threats can become major issues.
Increased Complacency
Rudimentary solutions create a false sense of security.
Higher Overhead Costs
Maintaining and updating multiple solutions in-house means increased expenses.
Delayed Detection
Lack of alarm correlation and synchronized analysis cause blind spots in threat detection.
Inefficient Resource Utilization
Diverting manpower and resources to manage multiple tools reduces overall efficiency.
What are the Benefits?
By integrating critical security measures into a single, cohesive framework, you are assured of more complete security coverage for your digital assets. The Essential Security Suite goes well beyond simple measures while keeping your costs under control.
Enhanced Security Posture
Strengthens your defence with more extensive coverage.
Increased Compliance Readiness
Provides a strong foundation for meeting regulatory requirements for communication, documentation, and processes.
Reduced Risk of Security Breaches
Carefully chosen security services and tools address the most common attack vectors and methods used against small companies.
Improved Employee Vigilance
Empowers your staff to recognize suspicious activities such as phishing.
Optimized Operational Efficiency
Simplifies security operations through an integrated approach.
