SonicWall safeguards organizations mobilizing for their new business normal with seamless protection that stops the most evasive cyberattacks across endless exposure points and increasingly remote, mobile and cloud-enabled workforces. By knowing the unknown, providing real-time visibility and enabling breakthrough economics, SonicWall closes the cybersecurity business gap for enterprises, governments and SMBs worldwide. For more information, visit www.sonicwall.com or follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram.  

Researchers recorded 6.06 billion malware attacks in 2023, the highest global malware attack volume since 20191 , according to the SonicWall Annual Cyber Threat Report.  Malware increased 11% year-over-year, with encrypted threats increasing 117% and cryptojacking increasing 659%.  

Security breaches at large enterprises such as Change Healthcare2 and AT&T3 capture major headlines, yet 43% of cyberattacks are aimed at small businesses4. Distributed enterprises are also susceptible to cyberattacks. These organizations typically have IT and security resources centralized in one location, such as headquarters, and fewer resources at others.  

IT and security teams face challenges such as managing increased workload with limited resources, inconsistent visibility across different security layers, and shortage of existing cyber skills5.  

Discover best practices, security tips and hidden gems that lower your total cost of ownerships from SonicWall, an industry leader in cybersecurity with more than 30 years of expertise, on how to protect your SOHO, branch offices and IoT devices  .

Best Practices for Securing SOHO, Small Businesses and Branch Offices

We must secure the endpoints. We must secure the cloud. And we must secure the network that binds them together.

One SOC to protect them all! At this CAFÉ TECH event we’ll dive deep into the advantages our SOC brings to every partner, and announce some new SOC expansions and extensions you won’t want to miss!

It’s easy to think that small or medium-sized businesses (SMBs) aren’t of interest to hackers and cyber criminals. The reality is just the opposite: because often SMBs don’t have a cybersecurity plan, they can become more attractive targets, and as more and more business is conducted on line, the chance of an SMB being collateral damage in a larger attack also increases. Even worse, 60% of SMBs that are victims of a cyber attack go out of business within six months. Join us for this webinar to learn how SMBs and the MSPs who support them can benefit from a Security Operations Center to better defend against cyber threats.
