After a challenging year for businesses everywhere, the need to stay safe online has never been greater, and getting the right security tools to keep your organisation protected is vital.

The global cost of damages due to ransomware attacks is predicted to reach $20 billion by the end of 2021 according to Cybersecurity Ventures, but it isn t just large businesses with bursting bank accounts that should be concerned - ransomware can affect smaller businesses too. Attackers are increasingly targeting SMBs under the impression that they will not have the same level of cybersecurity protection as big firms, so you need to make sure you stay protected.
