NAB partners with CrowdStrike to offer free cybersecurity protection to SMEs for a year

With one cybercrime reported every six minutes in Australia, cybersecurity has been declared an urgent national problem by the Australian government, as the country’s small and medium businesses emerge as one of the sectors least prepared to defend themselves against a cyber attack according to National Australia Bank research.

In a bid to help its small business customers tackle ransomware, data breaches and cyber threats and protect themselves in the long run, NAB announced on Wednesday that it was teaming up with global cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike.

The partnership will see eligible NAB small business customers receive free cybersecurity protection for 12 months through a year subscription to CrowdStrike ‘Falcon Go’.
