Time flies, periods change and people have to adapt to the new times and the changes they come with especially technology. It is therefore paramount that businesses and the people managing them learn to keep up.
Ever since the globe exited the World War age also know as the analog era and ushered in the information age(digital age), people have been ecstatic about rapid development.
From the ‘70s when the first computer was discovered to today’s rampancy in instant telephone communication across continents, people have built and thrived businesses on the platform.
It seems the development of the information age set up individuals to their very best in terms of invention, innovation and general growth.
However, with the growth came the sophistication of cyber attacks with mutations strong enough to bring down even the hardest of conglomerates.
Several revolutionary developers have attested to the nuisance of the attackers impeding their steady growth and dream to empower the communities in which they exist.
Big companies have lost proprietary data as a result of cyber attacks and had to navigate the harsh world of managing a digital company with the information age presenting them with more problems than they bargained for. But not anymore.
A new global cybersecurity Report from Vodafone highlights that the more cyber-ready a business becomes, the better its overall business outcomes. According to the study, 48% of cyber-ready businesses have posted a 5% growth annually.
What is, however, worrying is that 66% of businesses worldwide cannot authoritatively call themselves cyber-ready which puts them at the risk of losing everything.
It is with this mindset that Safaricom developed a service to protect enterprise customers from more unnecessary losses arising from a perennial problem that can be avoided.
The service dubbed EBU enables companies, enterprises, and individuals secure their emails and websites while managing vulnerabilities, test
Customers’ information technology is protected through managed security solutions, security assurance and advisory services.
According to Safaricom CEO Bob Collymore, the service has kicked off and several key industry players, especially from financial services and transport sectors, have signed on.
“We realise that all customers have unique needs and different budget levels. Our I.T. cybersecurity solutions are designed to cater for each customer’s needs so that they can get the best value and strategically select their solutions,” divulged Mr Collymore.
It may be time you step up and join the movement before it’s too late.
