Triple Protection
Ransomware, begone
It’s no secret that ransomware is a growing threat across all industries and verticals – including schools and government databases. In fact, in 2021, there was a 134% increase in attempted ransomware attacks over 2020. At FirstLight, our simple philosophy is this: Why pay all that when you can stop ransomware dead in its tracks? Our three-tiered system gives you triple canopy protection from all the online nastiness adrift in cyber-space.

KnowBe4
Keep your employees updated on possible cyber-threats
In order to gain illegal access to businesses and organizations, ransomware attackers rely on trusting employees to click on maliciously coded emails or websites. Our partnership with KnowBe4, a nationwide leader in security awareness training, helps your employees recognize where to click – and where not to touch.

DNS
Keep cyber-attacks from impacting your organization

Sometimes the best protection is preventative. Powered by Cisco Umbrella, our DNS solution uses core internet infrastructure to alert your network to cyber-threats, regardless of their point of origin or their level of sophistication. It then takes the steps needed to ensure those threats never infect your network or devices.
DRaaS & Data Backup
Ultimate protection for when the worst comes to pass
Sometimes worst-case scenarios happen no matter how well you’re prepared. Data backup can help ensure your data remains safe and secure, unimpacted by ransomware. But backup alone could mean costly hours of downtime while you remediate the damage which is why our Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is an ideal solution to keep your business up and running. DRaaS can help you turn back the clock to the moment just before the attack happened, minimizing data loss and maximizing uptime.

A disaster recovery (DR) plan is something that needs to be tested and revised regularly to evolve with the changing threat landscape. Along with protecting your company from natural disasters and major equipment failure, your DR plan must help you recover from significant breaches.
