Comcast Business SecurityEdge™ serves as the
first line of defense against malware and other threats; Works to
protect connected devices without having to install software
Comcast Business today announced the launch of its new
cloud-based internet security solution, specifically engineered to
help small businesses effectively manage the growing risk of
cyberattacks. Comcast Business SecurityEdge™ works to protect a
business’ network and the devices connected to it against several
existing and emerging Internet-related threats, including malware,
ransomware, phishing and botnet infections, without requiring
additional hardware or software beyond the Comcast Business
Internet modem.
In today’s hyper-connected world, cyberthreats are becoming more
sophisticated and prevalent. No organization is too large or too
small to be a target. In fact, nearly half of small businesses in
the United States suffered a cyberattack in 2017, according to a
recent study.
“Cybersecurity keeps business owners up at night because they
face an onslaught of challenges, from various, ever-changing forms
of cyberthreats that can result in the loss of sensitive
information or the disruption of business operations,” said Shena
Tharnish, Vice President, Cybersecurity Products, Comcast Business.
“Comcast Business SecurityEdge – a simple yet powerful solution –
can help defend companies and their data from serious harm by
protecting all devices connected to the network at an affordable
price.”
Comcast Business’ internet security solution, developed in
partnership with Akamai, a leading cybersecurity provider, blocks
access to compromised or malicious domains, which helps prevent
business owners, employees, or guests from accessing an infected
internet site. Businesses also have the ability to filter web
content – gaining more visibility into their network safety with a
simple to use, personalized dashboard that provides regular
reporting.
Comcast Business SecurityEdge also addresses small business
concerns about the cost and complexity of deploying cybersecurity
solutions. The innovative technology is built into existing
hardware, offering businesses an all-in-one solution that requires
no additional equipment, or setup. It automatically covers all
connected devices, from mobile phones to wireless printers, without
requiring software installations on each device. The cloud-based
solution updates internet domain threats every 10 minutes, so
companies can be protected from the latest threats with no need for
manual downloads or software updates.
