Cyber threats are one of the most pressing risks facing Canadian businesses today. From ransomware to data theft, the consequences of a breach go well beyond financial loss. They affect your clients, your reputation, and your ability to operate.<\/p>

Sharp has partnered with SKADI Cyber Defense Corporation to offer Frostbow\u2122 to our customers. Frostbow is an autonomous cybersecurity platform that monitors your environment, detects threats, and responds to them, around the clock, without requiring a dedicated security team. It is enterprise-grade protection built for businesses of every size.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Cyber threats are no longer a problem for large enterprises only<\/b><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The number and sophistication of cyberattacks has grown significantly in recent years. Attackers now use automated tools that can target thousands of businesses at once, regardless of size or industry. The average Canadian small or mid-sized business is a target because of the data it holds, not because of who it is.<\/p>

A single breach can mean weeks of downtime, regulatory obligations, client notification requirements, and costs that most small businesses are not prepared to absorb. The good news is that the right protection is now accessible and affordable, without needing to build a security team from scratch.<\/p>

Frostbow\u2122 is an autonomous cybersecurity platform. It connects to your existing technology, learns what normal activity looks like in your environment, and responds immediately when something anomalous appears, day or night, without human intervention.<\/p>

Frostbow runs on Ontological AI, a class of AI proprietary to SKADI Cyber Defense. Unlike traditional security tools that match events to known patterns, Frostbow understands why something is a threat, not just that it looks unusual. When a threat is confirmed, it acts in seconds: blocking connections, isolating affected devices, revoking compromised credentials. Your team receives a plain-language report of what happened and what was done. No technical background required.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Frostbow is built for organizations that handle sensitive data and cannot afford the cost or complexity of a traditional security team. If your business operates during regular business hours, the period your network is most vulnerable is the time when no one is watching.<\/p>

Sharp customers across a range of industries rely on Frostbow for continuous, autonomous protection.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Most small and mid-sized businesses have basic security or antivirus software in place. What most do not have is protection that works after hours, on weekends, and during the moments when no one is watching, because that is when most attacks happen.
