If 2020 has taught us anything, cyberthreats are evolving and the case for more efficient cyber protection has never been stronger. Being on an on premises platform may not keep you as protected as you think.

This webinar discuss on the differences between on premises and cloud cyber protection. Learn from Malwarebytes expert, Jacob Colagrossi, about the many benefits of switching to cloud cyber protection to help you better protect your organisation from cyberthreats like the recent cyber-attacks on Colonial Pipeline, the Irish Health Service and AXA.

During this 30-minute webinar, we’ll discuss:
• On premises vs. Cloud
• The advantages of centralised endpoint management for Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection, from anywhere
• What always on protection looks like – even when network connectivity is unavailable
• Brute Force protection enhancements
• And so much more!

On Premise vs Cloud - What you need to know

Ransomware attacks are alarming, unexpected, and often devastating to an organization. But while ransomware attacks are costly and damaging, ransomware defense and recovery are not as complex as you might think. Hackers are often taking advantage of hybrid workforce vulnerabilities, sophisticated phishing, unpatched applications, misconfigurations and/or an over confidence in back-ups – all of which are preventable.  
 
Tune in to find out the common causes of ransomware attacks, what hackers don’t want you to know, and how to survive today’s ransom-world. Adam Kujawa, Director of Malwarebytes Labs will run through protection techniques ranging from securing endpoints and network devices, to developing real-world plans to mitigate a ransomware attack quickly and effectively.
