Why Your Business Needs Modern EDR and SOC Solutions

There was a time when IT security for business owners was mostly centered on firewalls and antivirus software. To a certain extent, this was a sensible solution because information security in those days was mostly preventative, but this is no longer the right approach.

The state of mobile security around the world is a popular topic of conversation among SynchroNet technicians. We get to meet many clients who are not aware of the multiple threats and risks they can bring into their businesses and personal lives just by using their smartphones in unsecure manners.

Within hacking culture, certain methods to break into IT systems hold more weight than others. News about complex, daring, and sophisticated attacks result in greater respect from other hackers. When this respect is conveyed on underground discussion forums, it becomes a badge of honor.
