innovative platform designed to empower small and medium-sized
businesses (SMBs) with comprehensive and streamlined cybersecurity
management. This launch marks iON’s significant expansion into the
SMB market.
"We recognize that small businesses face unique challenges such
as limited budgets and access to technical expertise, making it
difficult for many to implement effective cybersecurity measures
and leaving them vulnerable," said Kevin Banks, Chief Operating
Officer at iON. "We’re proud that this new multilayered security
platform, iON Guardian, will address these challenges, providing
SMBs with effective and affordable protection."
iON Guardian is based on the unified, AI-powered cybersecurity
solution from Guardz. This exclusive partnership with iON marks the
expansion of Guardz into the Canadian market.

mission to empower MSPs and IT professionals with innovative
cybersecurity solutions,” said Dor Eisner, CEO and Co-Founder of
Guardz. “We’re excited to combine our innovative, AI-powered
technology with iON's local network and market understanding to
help ensure a safer digital world for Canadian small
businesses.”
With 40% of Canadian businesses having fallen victim to
cyber-attacks, the necessity for robust, effective cybersecurity
measures for SMBs is more pressing than ever. Utilizing innovative
technology, iON Guardian simplifies and streamlines security
operations with nine security controls to safeguard digital assets,
users, email communications, endpoints, and cloud environments –
all in one platform. The platform is built around an AI-powered
incident management and remediation workflow to maintain a low
total cost of ownership, while using all of the available
protection.
