Despite contributing significantly to the Australian economy, small and growing businesses often find themselves in a precarious position. They become attractive targets due primarily to their limited resources, sparse IT knowledge, restricted budgets, and lack of awareness and necessary training. MSPs often prove invaluable in these circumstances as they possess the requisite expertise and tools to safeguard these businesses, ensuring their cybersecurity requirements are met and any issues are addressed promptly.
Given the heightened risk faced by the small business sector, it’s clear that expanding into the Australian and New Zealand markets represents a pivotal opportunity for Guardz to build a safer digital world one continent at a time.
Reflecting this focus, Guardz is thrilled to announce the partnership with Australia-based IT distributor Manage Protect, which provides MSPs with sufficient tools to protect their small and medium-sized business clients throughout Australia & New Zealand.
This partnership is a significant step forward in empowering Manage Protect’s network of hundreds of MSPs to secure small and growing businesses in these regions against evolving threats such as phishing, ransomware attacks, account compromise, and data loss by leveraging AI to automate the detection and response in a unified platform.
“As the backbone of the Australian economy, SMBs are crucial to ensuring the cyber posture and operation of the country,” said Dor Eisner, CEO and Co-Founder of Guardz. “There is no better way to protect SMBs than by reaching them through their valued MSPs, and we are delighted to have joined forces with Manage Protect to make our shared mission of unified cyber protection a reality for these millions of businesses.”
“As an Australian company, we are proud to empower local businesses through technology. We have long searched for a product that would offer our customers comprehensive and accessible cybersecurity, and we’ve found that in Guardz’s unique, holistic solution,” said Andrew Johnson, Managing Director and Founder of Manage Protect. “Working together with the Guardz team, we have localised the platform for our market with 100% local technical support, billing (AUD), training, certification, and the recently deployed data centre to serve our region. We are excited to be working with local MSPs to enable and empower them to Manage & Protect their customers and deliver them the peace of mind they deserve efficiently and cost-effectively.”
With the cybersecurity landscape becoming increasingly complex and dangerous, this partnership serves as a beacon of reassurance, providing robust protection for our shared digital landscape.
