Paul Hague, CEO and Founder of BlackDice, said, “The partnership with Landatel Communications is a tremendous endorsement of BlackDice’s cybersecurity solutions. It marks a pivotal milestone in our strategic roadmap positioning us for further growth, as we continue to secure partnerships with key industry players to deliver solutions that address the pressing cybersecurity challenges confronting small businesses. We’re living in a digital age where over 560,000 new pieces of malware emerge every day. This alarming statistic underscores the urgency for robust cybersecurity measures, especially for businesses that are now heavily reliant on online operations and hybrid work settings.”
Recent data reveals that a staggering 75% of cyberattacks target routers, leaving 1.3 billion broadband routers worldwide vulnerable to attacks due to minimal security measures. By 2025, the anticipated surge of 27 billion IoT devices will pose further vulnerabilities to small business networks, especially in a hybrid work setting, and further highlights the need for robust network security.
In response to this imminent challenge, the new partnership offers businesses a “fortified digital defense”, said Manuel Arroyo, CEO of Landatel Communications, adding: “This collaboration will equip Landatel’s Data General security gateways with state-of-the-art AI and ML technologies to anticipate and counter cyber threats, ensuring optimal protection for Europe’s growing small businesses. With the integration of BlackDice’s advanced network security, we can ensure a seamless, safe, and stress-free online experience for our customers.”
