Protomatic Strengthens Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity breaches that cause computer shutdowns at large, medium and small companies are commonplace. In fact, a large company is impacted with an attack almost weekly.

Hackers have gotten smarter

Recently, successful attacks have been using enhanced AI strategies. The power of AI allows for customized hacks that take advantage of the differences among targeted companies. The attacks can come in many forms, such as brute force data attacks using a denial of service, malware, cyber virus, BOTNet, ransomware, or combination of methods.

Today’s cyber attackers (state-sponsored or criminal) are smart, professional, systematic, and relentless. This is simply a job for them, and their goal is to create pain while slowing or stopping communication. The hackers know that by preventing access to vital data or information, the targeted company is more apt to pay a ransom.

How Protomatic strengthened our cybersecurity

One of the major paths for cyber-virus delivery is via the email. So to improve the cyber defense at Protomatic, we have made some changes to our security profile and policies. One result is an improved email system.

More security. More benefits.

Our new email system gives us the ability to securely transfer large files without using third-party programs like Dropbox or ShareFile. Additionally, with higher security we can offer emails with digital signatures, and encrypted emails and attachments for even more demanding data security.

Life-saving Precision

Taking our cybersecurity to a higher level will help protect both us and our customers. And it further emphasizes our commitment to Life-saving Precision in everything from the parts we make to the behind-the-scenes processes we use.
