Technology has never been more prevalent in business than it is today. Unfortunately, cybersecurity risks are rising. No matter what business you are in, your company’s information is at constant risk to hackers.

Best in Class Cybersecurity Solutions

Conectrix participated in a three-day, Virtual Cybersecurity Summit. The presenters in the webinar were representatives from TPx Communications, Thrive, Masergy, Cato Networks, IBM, LastPass, and DYOPATH. These seven leaders in the Managed Security Service Providers (MSSP) industry explained how the cybersecurity industry is experiencing massive innovations. Conectrix is a proud partner to all of these MSSP industry leaders.

Trends and the Future of Cybersecurity

According to Cyber Security Ventures, there will be 3.5 million cybersecurity-related jobs needed to be filled by 2021. The As-A-Service model is primed for explosive growth since so many companies will need to find an affordable way to update their current IT posture. In March 2020, 1,000 IT decision-makers took a security survey with these findings:

- 55% do not provide awareness training for cybersecurity personnel

- 82% experienced downtime due to a cyber attack

- 58% saw phishing attacks increase over the last year

Levels of Security

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) found that the ideal security layout has functions to identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover from any cyber-attack.

These seven leaders in the security industry are experts at protecting their customers. Any security service that does not provide this multi-layered system is inferior.

SASE

With millions of workers conducting daily business completely online, companies must have a multi-layered approach to ensure remote workers keep information secure. The Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solution provides the ideal architecture to keep businesses connected and safe. Instead of buying and managing multiple point products for your IT security, a SASE security model is an all-in-one setup and saves your company money. Gartner expects over 40% of companies to adopt SASE models by 2024.
