❗ Why wait for an attack to strengthen your cybersecurity? ❗

Recently, we advised a customer to replace their outdated firewall, which could no longer be updated. Unfortunately, he chose to wait. Shortly after, a ransomware attack took advantage of this to infect his network.

Fortunately, thanks to our rigorous backup policy and our immediate responsiveness, we were able to:

✅ Fully restore operations the same day: critical business data was back in under an hour.
✅ Replace the vulnerable firewall immediately.
✅ Deploy reinforced security measures quickly (in less than 24 hours): Safe Links, Safe Attachments, MFA (multi-factor authentication) and an advanced EDR solution (Microsoft Defender).

👉 A concrete reminder: be proactive! Keep your protections up to date and replace outdated equipment before it's too late.

And you, have you ever experienced a similar situation? What measures have you put in place since then?
