TORONTO — Iristel is getting into the cybersecurity business with the announcement Tuesday it is now offering custom-built digital protection solutions for small and medium-sized businesses.
With data breaches a growing concern for SMBs, the frequency and sophistication of modern advanced cyber attacks leave traditional anti-virus and anti-spam programs defenseless and most SMBs extremely vulnerable, Iristel says in its news release.
“For small business owners, it’s not a matter of wondering if security threats will arise, but rather thinking in terms of when they’ll get hit,” says Iristel president and CEO Samer Bishay, in the release. “For less than a dollar a day for each company tablet, laptop, desktop or server, we’ve come up with custom-built security solutions to protect small business owners from cyber criminals.”
Iristel iMDR (intelligent Managed Detect & Response) is a custom-built, next-generation cyber solution to address the three core issues that Iristel says have been hampering SMBs from adopting sufficient cyber protections: effectiveness, affordability and scalability.
Iristel’s AI and human intelligence powered iMDR provides 24/7 comprehensive cyber protections to each endpoint, augmenting the cybersecurity posture for the entire business. There are no upfront costs and the monthly fee is $27 per endpoint, Iristel says.
The iMDR does not require any incremental internal IT resources because it is managed by Iristel’s cyber team. It is also fully transparent to clients through a customer portal.
“We want to provide customers with the tightest security possible at the best price possible,” Bishay says. “We’ve achieved this with our iMDR. Coffee may keep you up at night, but for a lot less than the price of a cup of coffee per day, small business owners can sleep easy knowing cyber criminals are being kept at bay.”
