Southern Cross Protection is proud to announce a partnership with MailGuard, the world’s largest private Software as a Service (SaaS) cloud security company. This new alliance will enhance our core offering to include cyber protection.
“Cyber security is perhaps the biggest threat to Australia fulling the opportunities of the digital age. We need the policies and infrastructure in place to engender confidence in online platforms. Without this confidence, we place economic growth and productivity at severe risk,” Andrew Johnson, CEO of the Australian Computer Society (ACS) told Kochies Business Builders.
“Working alongside Southern Cross Protection, we will foster a safer online environment for businesses,” explained CEO and Founder of MailGuard, Craig McDonald. “In the past, major criminal threats took the form of bank robberies and property invasions, however modern sophisticated crime networks can access the details of thousands of individuals or companies, with millions of dollars at risk, all online from an unknown remote location. This partnership is the manifestation of that changing criminal landscape.
“It’s a common assumption that traditional antivirus software will protect users against any and all attacks, but this is simply not the case.”
Speaking about the partnership, Tim Murphy, General Manager IT Risk for Southern Cross Protection said, “This partnership is the next phase in the evolution of Southern Cross Protection, and this move is significant for many reasons. Since our foundation post-WWI in Melbourne, our focus has continually been on being a progressive and pioneering security company.
“Our customers’ requirements have evolved and we identified a need to provide not just traditional ‘guns and batons’ physical security but with the increasing proliferation of cybercrime, we need to ensure our customers are protected online as vigilantly as we protect their physical assets.
“For us, MailGuard is the clear leader in that space, and there is no other company we would trust to provide that level of technological and business support to our customers.”
Southern Cross Protection clients can add MailGuard to their current stack, complementing on-premise antivirus solutions and security measures native to mail hosts.
A trusted name in cloud email and web security, MailGuard is an Australian technology that provides simple and affordable web and email security, and protects businesses in more than 27 countries around the world against security threats like malware, ransomware, spam, phishing, viruses, and spyware.
