In an effort to strengthen data security in the Caribbean, bmobile is educating clients and potential customers with a live demonstration of VMware Carbon Black Endpoint. This security software solution can best be described as ‘antivirus, on steroids.’ The software consolidates multiple endpoint security capabilities using one agent and console, helping IT teams and companies operate faster and more effectively.
Every eleven seconds, a company falls victim to a ransomware attack globally. Even worse, 59% of these attacks result in double extortion. The result is a thriving industry for the sale of harvested data which has grown from US$8bn in 2018 to US$20bn in 2021.
According to Nigel Pollard, Caribbean Territory Manager, Adistec, “Carbon Black is a solution to assist with your security posture. And your security posture is the different facets in your work environment that include everything from your firewalls to your devices, peripherals and storage. When most people think of data security, they think of the incoming points only. But today, if there is a breach coming in, it also goes ‘east-west’, that is, laterally across your networks and servers and across work sites and departments too.”
In welcoming guests to the event, Darryl Duke, TSTT’s Assistant General Manager Business Sales, noted that the company had a unique perspective as not only a provider of the software but an active user, having integrated the software into its system. “At bmobile Business, we continuously scan the cyber security landscape to ensure that our clients have access to the most superior software solutions in the market. As a technology partner and a company laser-focused on powering on business in Trinidad and Tobago, we are committed to offering the right suite of solutions and services to current and future clients.
With VMware Carbon Black, we are proud to introduce a best-in-class endpoint security solution that helps minimize risk and bolster our clients’ security posture,” stated Duke.
