MDR is a cybersecurity service that allows for continuous monitoring, detection, and response to threats, with the support of advanced technology and a specialized team.
- NIS2:
NIS2 is a European directive that strengthens the cybersecurity of essential companies and sectors. It requires managing digital risks, managing incidents, and protecting systems, data, and business continuity.
- Hybrid cloud:
A hybrid cloud is a technology infrastructure model that combines resources from private clouds, public clouds, and in some cases, a company's own on-premises systems, allowing them to work together in a connected and coordinated manner.
- Ransomware:
Type of cyberattack that blocks company computers, servers, or files to demand an economic ransom or cause severe business disruption.
- Network resilience:
Network resilience ensures continuity, security, and rapid recovery from failures, cyberattacks, or disruptions in business connectivity.
- SASE:
SASE is a model that integrates cloud-native connectivity and security to protect user, device, and application access from any location.
- SD-WAN:
SD-WAN is a network technology that allows for intelligent management of the connection between branches, users, applications, and cloud services, using software to optimize traffic and improve the performance of the corporate network.
- Service Level Agreement :
An SLA is a service level agreement that defines the minimum quality, availability, response, and resolution times that a provider must meet.
- XDR:
XDR is a cybersecurity solution that allows for the detection and correlation of threats across different points of the infrastructure, offering a more complete view for more effective response.
