Mobile Device Management

Our platform, Microsoft Endpoint Manager, extends beyond mere device management. It offers control over applications, data, and users for both personal and corporate devices, serving as an upgrade from traditional solutions like group policies, and collaborates with 365 features to ensure enterprise-grade security and control.

ThreatLocker Zero Trust

ThreatLocker employs industry-leading machine learning to understand the software applications your staff uses. This automated approach drastically reduces implementation time compared to other solutions requiring manual programming. After the ‘learning mode’, all unused applications are locked out, enhancing security.

Next Generation Antivirus

Our antivirus leverages AI and machine learning to detect behavioral changes. It identifies when staff members or their devices deviate from usual patterns and alerts an engineer.

Data Loss Prevention

This Microsoft 365 feature is designed to prevent confidential data from leaving your business, whether unintentionally or maliciously. You can specify rules using default options for common sensitive data or create bespoke rules for unique business data.

Next Generation Firewalls

A firewall acts as the first line of defense for your network against cyber threats. It inspects all incoming and outgoing traffic, checking for any malicious activity like unauthorised access or a virus.

Cloud Firewalls

We offer a cloud firewall service with all the benefits of a physical firewall, but hosted in the cloud. Connect via a transparent always-on VPN for a secure connection that doesn’t compromise your network speed.

 

Emerge Digital can also undertake a comprehensive cyber security assessment for your business, looking at your systems, data, and people, searching for non-conformances, problems, loopholes and flaws. We produce a report which provides actionable tasks to improve cyber security and aid data breach prevention in your business.
