Cybersecurity: still have questions?
Securing your business against cyber threats is critical today. Data leakage, malware, ransomware, phishing, spear-phishing… While these words may seem obscure, they are what your company’s IT teams and network infrastructure are subjected to every day. In 2021, one in two companies in France suffered a cyberattack. And contrary to what one might think, 69% of the victim companies are SMEs and micro-enterprises.
Winide was quick to notice the rising number of victims of cyberattacks. The company offers a strong password manager, a cybersecurity awareness program, and ransomware detection that affects 22% of cyberattacks and is the #1 danger for professionals.
Telecommuting, that door open to cyberattacks
If the number of cyberattacks has increased by 400% between 2020 and 2021, it is because cybersecurity measures have not followed the habits that companies have adopted after confinement. The generalization of teleworking has caused the appearance of new breaches in computer security. This is why companies must invest in new security devices. Aware that telecommuting is an undeniable advantage for VSEs and SMEs, the Winide team has decided to invest in these companies, which are largely underrepresented in the cybersecurity discourse.
Serious consequences for companies
While companies are aware of cyber attacks, they are often taken lightly. Cheick Traoré, founder and CEO of Winide, tells us: “Companies are not aware of the danger. In the end, how much does it cost to be hacked? How long can the service be interrupted? Today, the question is no longer How? ‘Or what? they hack us, but when we are hacked Some companies even go bankrupt.
a human story
Winide is first and foremost a human story, that of Cheick Traoré, who has always been passionate about computers and new technologies. Immersed in this universe since his youth, he decided to use his knowledge of the medium and his career as an entrepreneur to create Winide. “The “5 days to start a business” session was very helpful in setting up the business and finding partners. At the beginning of 2022 I recruited my first employee and I hope to hire other collaborators in 2023”. But if the objective is to grow and establish agencies abroad, the company intends to continue offering personalized advice and support over time for all its clients.
