Why is this move an important step in the right direction for businesses in Barbados?
Shocking statistics show why maintaining robust levels of security is essential for all businesses. According to Fortinet, the global leader in unified threat management solutions, there were 144 million cyber attack attempts in 2022, with 70 per cent of all attacks coming through mobile devices. The study also showed that 95 per cent of cybersecurity breaches are caused by human error with 60 per cent of people reusing old passwords thereby making themselves more vulnerable to an attack.
How does Lookout Mobile Security work?
Lookout Mobile Security protects businesses from the following threats:
Application threats – alert users to malicious apps seeking to steal sensitive business or personal data; and to insecure apps that breach company policies or compliance requirements.Network threats – send an alert to users if they are about to join an unencrypted network.Device threats – alert users to operating system vulnerabilities, such as out-of-date software or the lack of password protection.Web and Content (phishing) – VPN and alerting, notify users to phishing attempts from browsers, email and SMS.
