The misconception that small businesses are safe from cyberattacks is a dangerous one. From startups to large enterprises, AXS Guard has secured businesses ranging from 4 to 2,500 employees for over 27 years, prioritizing ransomware and malware prevention. Alex Ongena, CEO and Managing Director at AXS Guard, sheds light on why SMEs are particularly vulnerable to cyber threats.
Hackers are becoming increasingly sophisticated. "Entrepreneurs often believe that their business is not a target due to the perceived lack of interest from hackers," says Alex Ongena. "However, hackers use automated tools that indiscriminately target vulnerabilities, often exploiting weaker cybersecurity measures within SMEs. The financial repercussions of such attacks can be devastating; extorted amounts of €150,000 are not exceptional. Therefore, investing in cybersecurity is a proactive measure that far outweighs the potential losses incurred from a breach."
Total Peace of Mind
AXS Guard is dedicated to offering smaller organizations the opportunity to adequately protect themselves from cyber threats. While some businesses rely on their in-house IT staff, cyberattacks are often too complex for them to handle alone. That's why we've developed a comprehensive, all-in-one solution that keeps outsourcing costs low. With our proprietary solution, SMEs have access to a comprehensive cybersecurity package for only €20 per user per month. Presently, over 1,500 companies in Belgium rely on our technology, and AXS Guard successfully thwarts approximately 10 million cyberattacks each day. Our cybersecurity services encompass everything from A to Z, including hardware, ensuring that businesses can operate with peace of mind.
