Hacker Mask
Hackers prey on our lack of information and knowledge. This is why these attacks are on the up surge.

Hackers are once again taking advantage of the Covid-19 pandemic. Due to employees working from home, they are increasingly causing havoc in networks that used to be under one roof. This has resulted in an increase of attacks on businesses and government offices resulting in more than 74 BILLION dollars in losses. Pipelines have been shut down, supply chains cut off when they cannot communicate with the company under attack. Antivirus programs used to be able to stop these attacks but with them increasing at a rate of millions of new variants per day, this has a result of bringing offices to a halt and stopping their workflow. This has affected people at the most vulnerable part of their lives when people need their products and services at this most critical time.

Behavior sensing, something that Emsisoft uses, knows that if something is like a virus, it probably is. So, it stops this program from attacking your system. Sometimes this sensing software is too trigger happy and the software has to allow the process that is legitimate, but its better to be safe than to be brought to your knees.

IT companies are stretched thin by this problem and resources are at their breaking point. We at Global Security Support understand your concerns and are able to implement this solution, as well as offsite encrypted backups for your precious data. Call us for more information at 510-626-8199.
