Great News for Small Businesses without a Budget for Cybersecurity

On Sept. 13, 2022, we officially launched Mamori Freemium globally. If you’re a small business, you can request your free license and begin to cybersecure your business using the same technology as big businesses – for FREE.

Security is a complex tax on businesses. For small businesses, the tax is even heftier. They either have to stay vulnerable or invest heavily into both manpower and a combination of data security solutions.

Mamori Freemium changes that.

We are the first to provide an all-in-one solution that combines multiple complex and expensive security modules that were available only to businesses with large budgets. We are also the first to offer this all-in-one solution to small businesses for free.

That is why, with Mamori Freemium, small businesses can now cybersecure like a big business for free.

Small Businesses Can Now Cybersecure Like Big Businesses for FREE

The security solutions listed here were only available to large businesses because of their price and complexity. Here at Mamori.io, we have combined all of them into one solution with an extremely user-friendly interface. Thus, we not only reduce the price barrier for cybersecurity, but also the complexity of setup and implementation.

The 5 security solutions below are major cybersecurity solutions that big businesses use. All of them are included in Mamori Freemium so small businesses can prevent ransomware and cybersecure like a big business.

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) – Securing Your Company Network using a Zero Trust Framework

ZTNA enhances security on the individual and network layer to protect all your resources in your infrastructure. All types of access to your company network will be secured, whether remote or internal access. This is what stops cyberattacks, including ransomware and network penetration attacks. Part of ZTNA is micro-segmentation. It splits a larger network into smaller network segments and protects against hackers from moving laterally on your network.

Privileged Access Management (PAM) – Securing Identities and How Employees Access Your Data

PAM allows you to control how employees access your data, identifies malicious or accidental activities, and stores privileged account passwords in an encrypted vault. Because passwords are inherently insecure, Mamori verifies privileged access by identity. That means even when a company device is compromised by a cyberattack, the damage is only limited to the device.

Database Activity Monitoring (DAM) – Protecting Your Database from Unauthorized Access and Use

DAM monitors your databases for any anomaly in user access or activity. An access anomaly can be a user accessing database files at 3am on Saturday, for example. Activity anomalies include large data extractions or deletion. Whenever these activities occur, administrators and users will be alerted immediately.

Intrusion Detection – Detecting and Blocking Unauthorized Access to Your Network

When a hacker compromises a company device, their next step is to use that device to access and scan your network for servers and other devices. Intrusion detection detects and blocks these accesses. Unauthorized access can be identified based on the device’s identity and permission levels. Network scans can be blocked because they will be identified as unsolicited. Plus, these unauthorized access and activities will trigger a notification to administrators and owners.

2 Factor Authentication (2FA) – Securing Access by Identity

Last but not least, 2FA strengthens security by using another method to verify the identity of your employees. This extra layer of security, usually verified by email, text or authenticator apps, is estimated to prevent up to 90% of cyberattacks. 

Only One Step Away from Cyber Resilience

The Federal Trade Commission published a guidance on cybersecurity for small businesses that lists 12 areas where small businesses should focus on to boost cybersecurity. With Mamori Freemium, you can secure 7 of the 12 most technical areas for free.

Assuming you have a firewall, VPN and Windows defender (or other endpoint security) implemented, Mamori is the only solution you need to add to achieve cyber resilience. This datasheet details how Mamori Freemium’s features secure small businesses from cyberattacks.

Mamori Freemium Offers More than Just Cybersecurity and Ransomware Prevention

Securing your business from cyberattacks is just one benefit of Mamori Freemium. It also has other features that’ll help you run your business smoother and be free of potential obstacles.

Comply with Data Privacy Regulations

Access to database objects and data can be limited. For instance, you can restrict your marketing specialist from seeing or accessing sensitive customer information. Even if you allow it, you can narrow down the data visibility by masking name, address, or other personally identifiable information.

Prevent Data Theft

Employees stealing data can wreak havoc, but with access controls and PAM, employees can only access the data required to perform their duties. You can also create rules that prevent mass data extraction or deletion to protect against disgruntled employees.

Lowering Cyber Insurance Bills

Many insurers hiked cyber insurance rates because of the massive uptick in cyber and ransomware attacks. Because Mamori Freemium secures network, application and data access using a zero trust framework, Mamori customers’ cyber insurance bills are typically reduced by 30-60%, depending on coverage.

Accelerate Digital Transformation

When businesses are looking to improve efficiency, value or innovation, they turn towards digital transformation. However, one barrier to digital transformation is protecting data assets from internal and external threats. With Mamori Freemium, small businesses can confidently initiate digital transformation projects and embark on the next stage of growth.  

Why We Offer Our Flagship Product for Free to Small Business?

We offer Mamori Server for free to small business because of the massive increase in ransomware attacks. We’ve witnessed too many small businesses fail in these turbulent years, that’s why we’d like to support small businesses and contribute what we can towards protecting our community.  

Doing so is consistent with our mission. We understand that security is a complex tax on businesses, especially for small businesses. That is why our mission is to lower security cost, make it simple and provide productivity gains for the spend.

What cybersecurity solutions does a small business actually need?

Small businesses need the same core security layers as large enterprises: Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) to protect your network, Privileged Access Management (PAM) to control how employees access your data, Database Activity Monitoring (DAM) to catch unusual activity, Intrusion Detection to block unauthorized scans, and Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to verify identities. These five modules were previously out of reach for smaller organizations due to cost and complexity, but that is no longer the case with all-in-one solutions designed for smaller teams.

Does two-factor authentication (2FA) actually make a difference against cyberattacks?

Yes, and the numbers back it up. Two-factor authentication, verified via email, text, or an authenticator app, is estimated to prevent up to 90% of cyberattacks by adding a second identity check before granting access. It is one of the highest-impact security measures any business can implement, especially since passwords alone are no longer a reliable line of defense.

Can better cybersecurity help small businesses lower their cyber insurance premiums?

It can. Insurers have raised cyber insurance rates in response to the surge in ransomware attacks, but businesses that demonstrate strong security controls often qualify for lower premiums. Small businesses using a Zero Trust framework to secure network, application, and data access have seen cyber insurance bills reduced by 30 to 60 percent, depending on their coverage.

What cybersecurity guidelines does the FTC recommend for small businesses?

The Federal Trade Commission publishes guidance that identifies 12 key cybersecurity areas small businesses should address. The most technical seven, including network access, identity management, and database monitoring, can be covered with the right combination of ZTNA, PAM, DAM, Intrusion Detection, and 2FA. If you already have a firewall, VPN, and endpoint security in place, adding a solution that covers these five modules is all it takes to reach cyber resilience.

What is Mamori Freemium and what does it include?

Mamori Freemium is a free cybersecurity solution for small businesses that bundles five enterprise-grade security modules into one platform: ZTNA, PAM, DAM, Intrusion Detection, and 2FA. It is the first all-in-one solution of its kind offered at no cost, built to remove both the price and complexity barriers that have historically kept advanced security out of reach for smaller organizations.
