Running a small business already poses enough challenges, right? The last thing that a business owner (or your manager) needs is for hackers or scammers to create disruption in your enterprise. That's why we think that this news is relevant: Bitdefender’s Ultimate Small Business Security package has been launched in the UK. It's designed to enable small businesses to have peace of mind without having to hire a dedicated IT team.
What it does?
• Excellent level of protection for workstations, mobile devices and servers.
• Reviews the web and dark web for any shared passwords or leaks.
• Unlimited total number of VPN accounts, so remote workers are secure online.
• Uses AI tools to block scams and fake proof websites.
• Monitors the online reputation of your business, so you know if any attacked staff are acting on your brand.
• Utilises a simple dashboard for a unique experience to manage all of the above in one service.
Does that sound good? I especially like that it's a combination of a serious security tool (threat protection) with something that workers want to use (vaccination against scams and fake reviews).
Cybercriminals target more than just major banks or large corporations. Small businesses, little cafes or startups are the ones getting targeted because they lack robust security. Bitdefender has identified this gap and intends to fill it.
The workplace is changing
As work from home and hybrid are more common, more people are logging in from home. This opens up more holes for hackers to use. Bitdefender's package aims to fill those holes.
That said, I would keep an eye on:
• How easy it is to really use daily to day.
• If the alerts are useful or spammy.
• How the pricing compares with local UK security tools.
