Zero Networks Would like to Offer Some Certainty During These Uncertain Times

We are all feeling the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and trying to find our way through to some sort of new normal. We know times are tough and everyone is making sacrifices, but we want to make sure network security isn’t one of them. That is why we are offering for free through 2020 our automated network control service to companies in industries hit hard by COVID-19. We want to help everyone trust their networks, so they can come out of this crisis and be ready to do business when it is safe to.

Security Has Never Been More Important

If you are like most businesses, you are probably looking at your budget and trying to find ways to save. It makes sense and is completely understandable. Unfortunately, cuts to cybersecurity can end up costing you more down the line and adversely impact your ability to recover, long-term.

As despicable as it may be, cybercriminals have shown they are not slowing their cyberattack activity - if anything, there are many cases that seem to indicate they are increasing it. Many attackers see the pandemic as a chance to strike, taking advantage of distractions to further their aims.

Combine the resolve of cyberattackers with greater opportunities for exploit, thanks to more and more people working remotely, the threat of damage is real. As companies quickly enable much of their workforce to connect to corporate networks remotely, via VPN, which provides direct access to network resources, we’ve seen the attack surface and risk of exploit go way up.

Organizations need to ensure users and machines are only able to access the resources they need to do their job, nothing more. This is what Zero Networks does, stopping any unnecessary lateral movement to prevent the spread of commodity malware, ransomware and the success of targeted advanced cyberattacks.

We're All in This Together

We are all in this together. That is why we, at Zero Networks, want to do our part by ensuring network security remains strong, so businesses can focus on the other things that matter to them during this crisis. To achieve this, we are offering companies in travel, entertainment, hospitality, and other industries hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic our automated network control service for FREE through 2020. This cloud-based service is easy to get up and running, using the existing infrastructure, allowing you to restrict the access of every user and device on the network to only what they require to do their job. This will enable employees to safely access the network, even when using a VPN, to get only the resources they need, when they need them, nothing more. This eliminates many of the internal attack vectors that cyberattackers rely on to move through your network and perpetrate their attack.

In these uncertain and stressful times, security is the last thing struggling businesses should have to worry about. Our mission at Zero Networks is simple — enable companies to trust their network, so they have the peace of mind that users are only doing what they should, now and always. We are honored to be able to help businesses keep their networks safe, so they can put all their energy and resources towards navigating these uncertain times.

We are ready to help, so please contact us at contact@zeronetworks.com to start using the Zero Networks Access Orchestrator free of charge.
