Armata releases all-in-one cybersecurity bundle

October 2024 News & Events

Armata Cyber Security has developed an all-in-one cybersecurity bundle designed to provide organisations with a comprehensive layer of protection against malware and ransomware attacks. The solution includes robust security, insurance and warranty protection that is easy to use, manage and integrate within the business. The product is designed to mitigate user error, while enhancing overall operational security.

“You need to look at how malware accesses your environment if you want to prevent it from successfully getting in,” says Richard Frost, Head of Consulting at Armata. “Usually, this is through email, phishing or a vulnerability that is not stopped by existing email security. If it still gets through, the company needs to prioritise user awareness training to be more resilient to cyberattacks. Then, if the user still clicks the link, you need endpoint security and network security that step in to prevent the malware from going any further. It is a multi-phased approach that involves numerous moving parts to ensure the business is secure.”

The bundle combines a comprehensive range of cybersecurity protocols and protections in one cohesive package designed to provide companies with peace of mind, resilience and continuity.

The basic package includes email security with user awareness training, endpoint protection with managed EDR from Sentinel One, and an always-on ZTNA solution from AppGate, which costs R215 a month.

The next bundle that retails for R405 a month comes with endpoint security using Sentinel One, zero-trust networking and 365 protection and user awareness training from Mimecast. It also includes black hat assessments, vulnerability assessments, and patch management as options for larger organisations.

The packages can also add a R1 million cyber-warranty that protects against network security breaches or Internet of Things (IoT) events. This costs R180 a month plus R8.64 to R3.29 per user per month, depending on user count.

“Cybersecurity has become a conversation about human security in the IoT era,” says Frost. “If machinery is successfully targeted by malware, it could potentially injure a person, which is another area of concern for companies. They could face financial ruin if their machines somehow hurt a human being. Our all-in-one bundle prioritises the mitigation of this type of threat through our network security solutions and offers insurance cover that will help with the replacement of machinery affected by an attack.”

Ransomware remains an insidious threat. Companies increasingly fall victim to successful attacks that devastate their resources and reputations. Many have not got the resources to effectively protect themselves against an increasingly sophisticated army of zero-day attacks, ransomware, phishing and malware. Using outdated firewalls and old endpoint protection, companies are vulnerable to any form of attack, costing them time and money.

“Companies need a quick and easy fix to this problem, one that does not lean on outdated technology or leave them out in the cold if they have fallen victim to an attack,” concludes Frost. “Our all-in-one bundle provides holistic security that spans everything from email to endpoints, includes a cybersecurity warranty, and includes next-generation technology. It is a tap-and-go solution to cybersecurity problems.”
