Partner Response to COVID-19
With the appearance of the Coronavirus in 2019 (COVID-19) and the incredible global response through 2020, most if not all companies have faced with innumerable challenges to keep business running as usual. In cybersecurity, it is common for threat actors to take advantage of these situations for measurable gain, making it even more critical to have a robust security posture and many companies stood up to that challenge. Here's how a few of our partners are responding to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic:
