CrowdStrike, a leader in AI-driven cybersecurity, teamed up with BT. They launched BT Business Antivirus Detect and Respond. This new service is powered by CrowdStrike Falcon Go. The joint offering delivers top-notch, AI-powered protection. It also offers 24/7 expert support for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in the UK. It helps them prevent breaches before they occur.
Many SMBs still struggle to adopt advanced security measures. This is despite the growing awareness of cyber threats. CrowdStrike’s State of SMB Cybersecurity Survey reveals that small and medium businesses (SMBs) deal with two big challenges: tight budgets and a lack of skills. Only 11% of SMBs use AI-powered defenses. Many are still at risk from cyberattacks like ransomware and credential theft.
BT Business Antivirus Detect and Respond uses CrowdStrike Falcon Go for easy, AI-driven endpoint protection. It’s simple to manage and scale. Designed specifically for smaller organizations, the service provides automated threat detection and prevention alongside continuous monitoring and response from BT’s expert security team. The combination of CrowdStrike’s award-winning Falcon platform and BT’s trusted service infrastructure ensures UK SMBs can achieve enterprise-grade protection without the complexity.
