“The increasing number of cyber-attacks against businesses has put companies on high alert and fuelled demand for cyber security cover, specifically amongst SMEs. It’s crucial to integrate cybersecurity into their digital environments, be more proactive in guiding the insured and seek comprehensive support in risk management given their low-security budget, lack of cyber skills, and the rapidly changing and diverse nature of tech and their business.”
Web Protect also ensures customers’ safety by using an advanced threat intelligence platform that scans all users’ internet traffic and denies access to false websites set up by hackers that either steals payment information or install viruses.
This is achieved by partnering with one of the top global cyber threat intelligence platform service providers with a team of world-class engineers, mathematicians, and security researchers actively monitoring the threat landscape, so stc Bahrain business customers continue to stay one step ahead of bad actors.
