Partnership with trusted Australia-based IT distributor, Manage Protect, allows MSPs to protect their small and medium-sized business clients
SYDNEY and TEL AVIV, Israel, Feb. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Guardz, the cybersecurity company securing and insuring small businesses, today announced its launch in Australia and New Zealand, empowering MSPs to secure and insure SMBs with its tailor-made, unified cybersecurity platform.

Small businesses are the backbone of the Australian economy and make up 99% of businesses, creating jobs, supporting local communities, and providing crucial services. Almost a quarter of Australia’s SMBs have experienced a cybersecurity incident resulting in service disruption, reputational damage, and revenue loss, and often leading to the permanent closing of doors. As the underpinning of the country’s economy, these companies not only require end-to-end cybersecurity protection, but also personnel with the know-how to properly maintain and proactively manage their cybersecurity. Due to limited resources, budget constraints, and a lack of awareness and training, these SMBs often turn to Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to improve their cybersecurity hygiene and manage their IT. These local service providers are crucial to ensure SMBs’ cyber needs are met and that issues that arise are remediated in a timely manner.
Manage Protect sources and offers best-of-breed cloud technology to the Australian and New Zealand markets, providing deep local technical support and partner enablement to protect their MSP clients’ businesses. The Guardz cybersecurity solution for MSPs will be available to Manage Protect’s over 300 MSP customers, enabling them to seamlessly manage their clients’ end-to-end cybersecurity with automated detection and response capabilities.
“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.”
Using the Guardz cybersecurity platform, MSPs can control businesses’ cyber posture, remediation, and subscription plans from a single, multi-tenant platform. The end-to-end, simple, and cost-effective solution provides automated threat detection and remediation across all major attack vectors, including business data, employee identities, cloud directories, web browsing, emails, and devices. The AI-powered solution automatically and continuously monitors a company’s external and internal digital footprint, providing actionable alerts and real-time risk prevention.

recorded-future-unveils-ai-driven-enhancements-to-combat-ransomware-threats-with-real-time-intelligence

AI-Powered Threat Intelligence Delivers Enhanced Visibility, Faster Detection, and Proactive Response Across the Entire Ransomware Lifecycle
BOSTON, Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Recorded Future, the world’s largest threat intelligence company, today announced new industry-first ransomware detection capabilities to proactively address threats across the entire attack lifecycle. These capabilities provide real-time visibility into the most pressing and unique risks facing organizations, including ransomware group operations and targeted victims within their specific ecosystems. Powered by Recorded Future AI, organizations receive automated, customized ransomware intelligence with AI-driven reporting, providing timely, actionable insights as an extension of their security teams.

Ransomware continues to rank as the top cybersecurity threat, with attacks rising over 70% in 2023 and $1 billion paid in ransoms. Attackers are shifting further from simple data encryption to more sophisticated extortion tactics, forcing organizations to deal with financial losses, operational disruptions, and reputational damage. Despite major investments in cybersecurity, early detection continues to be a challenge, leaving networks exposed to ransomware. Recorded Future strengthens defenses in areas where EDR, MFA, and other detection tools fall short, providing critical coverage for more complete protection. To address these issues, Recorded Future is enhancing its existing capabilities to offer more comprehensive visibility, real-time insights, and early-stage threat detection through new features:
Ransomware Risk Profiles: Organizations can now monitor customized ransomware risk profiles that offer an end-to-end view of ransomware exposure, that are specific to their organization, helping to identify vulnerabilities and potential attack surface risks early. This empowers security teams to prioritize action and address threats before they escalate.Victimology & Actor Insights: Recorded Future provides real-time insights into ransomware groups’ activities, their victims, and targeted sectors such as specific industries, geographies, or supply chains. These insights are based on MITRE ATT&CK mappings and deep research from Recorded Future’s Insikt Group, enabling security teams to better understand threat actor operations and make proactive defense decisions.AI-Generated Reporting: With the power of Recorded Future AI, organizations can now automatically generate detailed, audience-specific ransomware intelligence reports. These reports provide leadership and security teams with timely, actionable insights, reducing manual effort and accelerating decision-making.”Recorded Future’s AI-powered Intelligence Cloud allows us to take a proactive stance to combating ransomware actors. With Recorded Future’s Threat Intelligence module we will be able to produce reports using AI Reporting with actionable insights on the highest priority threats to inform stakeholders across the organization. This will help us know how to best protect our organization, and increase our resilience.” – Jeremy Miller, Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst, Nelnet
Ransomware attacks represent a complex and evolving challenge for organizations today. Despite extensive investments in detection tools, security teams often lack the visibility and early detection needed to thwart attacks. Recorded Future’s enhanced Threat Intelligence Module provides organizations with comprehensive visibility across the ransomware lifecycle, empowering them to take a proactive approach to defending against ransomware thereby improving resilience, and mitigating the financial, operational, and reputational damage caused by these attacks.
“While proactive defense and resilience to ransomware attacks are achievable with the right intelligence, an AI-driven approach puts security teams ahead of their adversaries’ next move. We’ve looked at the ransomware lifecycle and applied Recorded Future AI, combined with our threat intelligence and client telemetry, to create a single source of truth, defeating ransomware early for each one of our clients.” – Dr. Christopher Ahlberg, Co-founder and CEO, Recorded Future
