M86 Security Industry Solutions for Small and Medium-Sized Business

Overview:

Hostile work environment. Poor productivity. Compromised confidential information. Servers wiped out by a virus. Compliance and regulation violations.

These aren't problems exclusive to large, multi-layered corporations and conglomerates. "Main Street" businesses must deal with these very same issues—often with much higher consequences since most SMBs can't absorb the financial impact. Cost of ownership, ease of use and low management requirements are exponentially more important to the small- and medium-sized business because, while exposure to Web and email threats could be crippling, so can the cost of maintaining the technologies meant to protect against those threats.

M86 Security provides small and medium-sized business with enterprise-proven performance, delivered at SMB pricing and with ease of use in mind. The flexibility to secure Web and email traffic with both software and hardware solutions allows SMBs to deploy products that fit their networks, rather than changing their networks to fit the solution. We're trusted by the SMB market because:

• We have been in the business for more than 14 years
• Our products are multi-platform, multi-layered and integrated
• We provide one contact for solution support
• We have a long record of performance and innovation awards
• And, as a private company, we still answer to our customers, not investors.
