Why we chose Guardz
Real security starts with simplicity. Guardz is not a standalone scanner, but one platform that brings together the strongest technology from specialist vendors. That way SMEs get the same security as large organisations, without five separate packages and five dashboards.
The controls
Guardz protects the places where attacks start. Behind each part is technology from a specialist vendor.
- Email, with Check Point: phishing, malicious attachments and fake invoices are intercepted. Check Point’s email security was formerly called Avanan.
- Workstation, with SentinelOne: EDR that recognises and stops suspicious behaviour on laptops and computers, including ransomware.
- Browser, with Palo Alto Networks: Prisma Browser blocks fake login pages and session theft, and gives control over the use of AI tools.
- Accounts: recognise and stop account takeovers in Microsoft 365.
- External attack surface: what an attacker sees from the outside, including leaked passwords.
Why the combination is so strong
An attack almost never follows a single route. It starts with an email, continues in the browser and ends on a laptop or in a Microsoft 365 account. Separate tools each see one piece.
Guardz links the signals from email, browser, workstation and accounts. The SOC then sees one incident instead of separate alerts, and takes action where it is needed. A SOC (Security Operations Centre) is a team that reviews alerts day and night and takes action.
How we use Guardz
- In Cyber Resilience: Guardz is the technical foundation. Everything is monitored continuously, and the Guardz SOC takes action immediately when there is suspicious activity. A click on a wrong link becomes an intercepted incident instead of a disaster.
- As a standalone solution: we take care of implementation, setup and support.
What it delivers
All basic measures properly in place straight away, fewer separate parties and continuous oversight without extra management effort. We monitor, interpret and advise. Guardz provides the technology.
