Dr Li adds the solution will safeguard businesses from a comprehensive range of cyber threats, including malware attacks that can disrupt operations, steal data, or compromise systems; ransomware that encrypts critical data and demands hefty ransoms for decryption; phishing attempts designed to steal login credentials and personal information; and malicious websites that can infect devices with malware or attempt to steal data.
