Cybersecurity spinoff company Cytrust and NortonLifeLock to help identify Latin American SMEs' cybersecurity risks and safeguard their growing businesses
QUITO, Ecuador, April 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Cyberscoring company Cytrust, created in partnership between multigenerational Ecuadorian insurance firm Seguros Confianza and U.S.-based Rokk3r Inc. (OTC: ROKK), and NortonLifeLock, a leader in consumer cybersecurity, today announced their intention to help protect Latin American SMEs online and safeguard their assets against lurking cyber criminals. This effort helps validate the position of Cytrust as a leader in the nascent cyberscoring space.
Cytrust cyberscoring allows small businesses to easily determine their risk exposure to cyber attacks. As part of this effort, Cytrust customers will be able to access leading cyber safety solutions from NortonLifeLock. It is a one-two punch to hackers, as SMEs will be not only better informed, but also have access to NortonLifeLock's cyber safety tools.
Despite the big headlines that name Fortune 500 companies and multinational corporations in costly data breaches, according to Accenture – 43% of them – target SMEs, yet only 14% prepared to defend themselves1. These incidents cost businesses of all sizes $200,000 on average, according to insurance carrier Hiscox1.
"We are committed to empowering entrepreneurs and leaders of small- and medium-sized enterprises to embrace cutting-edge technologies that safeguard their operations as they expand and evolve," said Javier Cárdenas, Cytrust lead investor. "Our collaboration identifies and specifically serves channels that are most at risk: banks, retailers, as well as small businesses, whether they are primarily brick-and-mortar or entirely web-based. We look forward to being trusted allies to players in those spaces in our increasingly complex and digital world."
Cytrust is the first company in Latin America focused on scoring cyber risks for individuals and small and medium enterprises. The sophisticated algorithm, combined with a simple questionnaire platform, makes Cytrust a robust yet easy-to-use platform for different channels interested in determining gaps in digital safeguards and protecting their customers from cyber risks. Cytrust believes that the combination of scoring awareness and cyber security opens a new world for cyber protection, one that tailors products with filtered customer profiles for comprehensive and intuitive insurance coverage.
