End of Year Threat Report Overview for Channel Partners

Cyberthreats have been increasing year on year, presenting a new security challenge for businesses at every size. Not only has the volume grown, but the methods of attack have shifted too: the Avast Q2 2023 Threat Report found that social engineering and web-related threats now account for over 75% of the threats they detected on desktop. Smaller businesses are particularly vulnerable as they’re less likely to have the resources and dedicated security teams to tackle this head on. They’re going to lean even more on the Managed Services Providers (MSPs) – who can take this opportunity and run with it, if they know how.
The challenge will be to meet these varying security needs simultaneously, across multiple tools. While growing demand is great for business,  the added complexity must be taken seriously. Just as the SMBs will need support from their MSPs, so MSPs must be smart about where they get their own support. By working closely with their partners and finding new opportunities to improve flexibility and agility, MSPs can turn this cybersecurity landscape into a wealth of opportunity. 
Tune into this webinar from Gen Digital to hear industry experts break down the evolving landscape for SMB security and how MSPs can benefit.

The Small Business Cybersecurity Boom: How MSPs Can Take Advantage

Take a look around the Business Hub platform with our Solutions Engineer, Paul Fenwick.

Avast Business Hub - Security Platform Demo

Vulnerability management and patching has been widely compared to the use of seat belts in cars. In terms of the level of protection provided by patching - this comparison is no overstatement. The U.S National Security Agency estimates that 85% of targeted cyberattacks would have been prevented with the patching of applications and patching of operating systems. Patching uses automation to distribute and deploy patches across thousands of devices from one console. This is especially relevant in today’s climate, as remote patching allows you to deploy patches to distributed devices. 

However, some security-conscious professionals are still wary of patching, concerned that patches introduce security problems and can cause disruption. Effective and modern patching, like Avast patching solutions, addresses and solves these issues. Given that in 2019, 60% of data breaches were linked to a vulnerability where a patch was available but not applied, now is the time to implement efficient patching and vulnerability management regardless of fears.

In this session, we will:
-  Discuss why patching is so important
-  Share real life use cases 
-  Debunk fears and concerns about patching and vulnerability management

Vulnerability Management: Optimise Patching Solutions & Stay Ahead of Threats

Cybersecurity has historically been very slow to adapt to change. Processes take a long time to be worked out and enforced, and security methods become forces of habit rather than innovative and efficient as a result. Digital Transformation has seen a huge wave of Cloud migration. In fact, FireMon's State of Hybrid Cloud Security Survey found that 60% of businesses are embracing the cloud at a rate that outpaces their ability to secure it. 

With such a large degree of cloud transformation, you must move away from tired cybersecurity systems, like VPNs, and move towards more modern and efficient ways of protecting your organization. Securing your Cloud transformation with a zero trust approach simplifies your cloud based management, allowing you to consistently manage from one platform. 78% of enterprises are looking to adopt a zero trust strategy. Join this session to find out why. 

In this session we will discuss:
-  The business benefits of ZTNA
-  Replacing VPN connection with Zero Trust - and why it’s time to move away from VPNs
-  Improving user experience with Avast Secure Private Access

Making Zero Trust Part of Your Digital Transformation Journey

With persistent threats on the horizon, it’s important to make sure your security measures are always doing the most for you and your organization. One of the best ways to do this is through layering. Similarly to wrapping up with layers in the winter to protect from the cold, it’s important to layer your security controls to protect your resources and data from cyberattacks. 

Layering is so important, as it’s virtually impossible to keep track of all possible threats. But with a layering solution, you can protect every possible weakness. While layering has been around for a long time, new ways to apply and integrate these solutions have continued to evolve. For example, Avast delivers critical layers of security - all from the cloud. 

In this session, we will discuss:
-  Why layering is such a powerful cybersecurity tool
-  Managing your layering solutions from a single cloud-based console
-  What layers you need to protect your data

Protecting Your Business with a Layered Security Approach

A common tactic of CyberCriminals is to exploit vulnerabilities in software to gain access to devices, the initial compromise from which they can move laterally around the device and network to find valuable data to hold to ransom. On average a ransomware attack leads to a downtime of 19 days and cost of over £200,000 
 
Patching, the process of applying updates from software developers, hardware suppliers and vendors, to either enhance functionality or to improve security is one of the most important things you can do to mitigate those security vulnerabilities.
 
Join us to discuss this in more detail and show you how Avast Business Patch Management can help deliver an automated solution to help mitigate the risks of software vulnerabilities and strengthen your cyber security.
