CALGARY – Shaw Communications today launched Cyber Protect for Shaw Business, a new service which will provide increased network security measures for business customers.
“Cyberattacks are becoming more frequent and increasingly sophisticated. With the amount of sensitive and confidential information that businesses share and store online, a single cyberattack has the potential to be absolutely crippling,” said Katherine Emberly, Shaw’s business division president. “By acting as a key line of defence against cybercriminals, Cyber Protect from Shaw Business will help alleviate the uncertainty and worry many customers feel when it comes to network security, and allow them to focus on growing their business.”
The service consists of two key products: Cisco Umbrella Easy Protect and McAfee Multi Access. Cisco Umbrella Easy Protect (a fully cloud-based solution) transparently verifies the safety of internet traffic passing through the customer’s modem by blocking Domain Name System (DNS) requests to malicious destinations before a connection is established. McAfee Multi Access provides Windows- and Mac OS-based laptops as well as iOS and Android smartphones and tablets with safe browsing and anti-virus protection and can be installed on up to 10 unique devices per customer account.
Available as an add-on solution for Shaw’s small and medium Business Internet and SmartWiFi customers for an extra $6/month, Cyber Protect will let business owners create another of defence against security threats like malware, ransomware, phishing scams and botnet attacks.
