SafeGuard Cyber is a SaaS security platform providing cloud-native defense for critical cloud communication applications that organizations are increasingly reliant upon, such as Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom, Salesforce, and social media.  A blind-spot is growing for security operations as adoption of these tools increases, creating more risk and vulnerability to ransomware, business compromise, and confidential information leakage. Email security lacks the ability to both create visibility outside of email, and primarily defend against malicious files and links. CASB/SASE solutions are difficult to deploy and manage, and the control function is typically left “open” to prevent false positives from affecting business productivity Our platform’s agentless architecture creates a portable security layer wherever your workforce communicates, no matter the device or network. Manage day-to-day business communication risk extending beyond email and into enterprise collaboration applications. Secure your business by protecting the human attack vector from advanced social engineering and targeted threats.
