Awards season is in full flow and it\u2019s already been a successful one for <\/span>CyberSmart<\/span><\/a>, as we scooped two awards at <\/span>Computing\u2019s<\/span><\/i> Security Excellence Awards 2021<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the Security Excellence Awards?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Computing’s<\/i> Security Excellence Awards celebrate the achievements of the tech industry\u2019s leading security companies, products and personalities. Or, as they put it, \u2018the ones who keep the rest of the industry operating\u2019.<\/p>\n

This year has been a particularly tough year for anyone working in cybersecurity. Remote and hybrid working have become commonplace, nation-state and ransomware attacks are on the rise, and a society that previously gave little thought to cybersecurity has suddenly been forced to start thinking about it in a big way.<\/p>\n

These awards are a well overdue celebration of the best of a turbulent year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What did CyberSmart win?<\/b><\/h3>\n

We\u2019re delighted to have won two awards, one for CyberSmart as a business, and the other for our SME-focused product, <\/span>CyberSmart Active Protect<\/span><\/a>. Here\u2019s a little explanation of each award:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Security Vendor of the Year \u2013 SMEs<\/b><\/h4>\n

\u201cSMEs are often forced to make do with ageing infrastructure and legacy systems, and may be unable to defend themselves against new threats. This prize will go to the company that can best aid SMEs in their constant battle to avoid becoming the \u2018low-hanging fruit\u2019 of cybersecurity.\u201d<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

SME Security Solution Award<\/b><\/h4>\n

\u201cSMEs are prime targets to malicious agents, with small teams and often similar budgets. The cost of large and expensive security offerings can make SMEs feel priced out of the market, so in this category, we’re looking at affordable services that still offer the range and scope of security coverage any larger organisation typically enjoys.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

What does this mean for CyberSmart?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

First of all, we\u2019re thrilled to have won these two awards, particularly as both focus on SMEs. Since our founding, we\u2019ve made it our mission to make cybersecurity simpler and more affordable for SMEs. So, to be recognised at an awards ceremony for doing exactly that is proof we\u2019re on the right track. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>However, our work is far from done. SMEs are being targeted like never before and there are still too many without adequate protection. While welcome, these awards only add fuel to our fire for 2022 and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n

Protecting your business on a budget is tricky. Calling in the experts or investing in the latest tools is expensive. So what can you do? CyberSmart Active Protect secures your business around the clock with no need for costly consultants, tools or an in-house team. <\/span>Try it today<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
