iuvo, a prominent provider of professional IT consulting and managed services, has introduced iuvo Security Essentials, a cybersecurity suite aimed at safeguarding businesses from cyber threats. This new offering is poised to significantly impact diverse industries by providing superior protection at a competitive price.
With businesses increasingly reliant on digital platforms, addressing security risks has become paramount. iuvo Security Essentials offers a robust suite of features designed to tackle these challenges, providing businesses with essential protection and peace of mind. According to recent data, the average number of cyber-attacks per business per week reached 1,308 in the first quarter of 2024, marking a 28% increase from the last quarter of 2023 and a 5% year-over-year increase. Traditional security measures like antivirus software and firewalls may no longer suffice, making advanced solutions like iuvo Security Essentials crucial.
The suite includes key features such as EDR+MDR (Endpoint Detection and Response + Managed Detection and Response), which offers threat monitoring and rapid response capabilities. Businesses using Microsoft 365 can integrate iuvo Security Essentials without replacing Microsoft Defender, enhancing their existing security framework. For those not using Microsoft, the suite provides comprehensive EDR and MDR solutions, ensuring top-tier protection across platforms.

Regular phishing testing and continuous staff cybersecurity training are also included, aiming to transform employees into a 'human firewall.' The suite supports regulatory compliance, preparing businesses for cyber insurance applications and maintaining industry standards.
For organizations seeking to further enhance their security posture, iuvo Security Essentials+ offers optional SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) services. This comprehensive support simplifies security management by handling all invoicing and vendor relationships, allowing businesses to focus on their core operations.
