Fitness & Lifestyle Group<\/a>, one of the leading health and wellness groups in Asia Pacific, is deploying a security solution from Airlock Digital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Australian cybersecurity pioneer\u00a0has announced that consumer enterprises are adopting the Airlock allowlisting solution as a key part of the\u00a0Essential Eight cyber mitigation strategies to protect against ransomware and other cyberattacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airlock implements Application Control \u2013 the first of the Australian Cybersecurity Center (ACSC) Essential Eight\u00a0strategies to mitigate cybersecurity incidents \u2013 to prevent execution of unapproved and\/or malicious programs like ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Essential Eight \u2013 which the Australian government is mandating for all non-corporate Commonwealth entities in addition to the already mandatory top four \u2013 has become the de facto Australian cybersecurity standard to protect against increasing ransomware and other cyberattacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many other cybersecurity frameworks, including the US Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), also recommend Application Control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ACSC recommends that all Australian organizations implement the Essential Eight mitigation strategies as a baseline to make it much harder for adversaries to compromise systems. This can be more cost-effective in terms of time, money and effort, it says, than having to respond to a large-scale cybersecurity incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the rise of ransomware, consumer enterprises and their customers now face similar cyberthreats to government agencies, banks and critical infrastructure, according to Airlock Digital Co-Founder, David Cottingham, and are implementing pro-active measures like Application Control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is heartening to see leading consumer enterprises pro-actively responding to the heightened risk environment by embracing the Essential Eight and developing a mature, risk-based approach to cybersecurity,\u201d said Cottingham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fitness & Lifestyle Group (FLG) is one major consumer enterprise implementing Airlock as a key part of the Essential Eight. FLG operates over 500 gym locations across Australia, New Zealand and South-East Asia, and a range of on-demand digital health and fitness programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAirlock Digital is proud to assist Fitness & Lifestyle Group implement Application Control, the number one measure in the ACSC Essential Eight, which is particularly effective against ransomware,\u201d said Cottingham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe protection of our staff and our members\u2019 data is a priority for our business,\u201d said Lee Roebig, Head of Information Security at Fitness & Lifestyle Group. \u201cThe ACSC Essential Eight is extremely important to FLG, as it should be for any other global business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile we use multiple endpoint security controls, it is safe to say that Airlock is our most effective solution for protecting endpoints from malicious software-based attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAside from achieving the number one ACSC security control and the associated benefits, we now have a really good grasp of what applications are being used across all our brands and businesses and can now ensure that only authorized programs are running.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
