CALGARY, Alberta, November 5, 2024 — Mode Software Inc. (Mode), announced today a strategic partnership with IT and cybersecurity provider ADVANTUS360 to enhance incident response readiness for organizations facing cyber crises.
The partnership equips ADVANTUS360's clients with Mode's secure, out-of-band communication platform, ensuring teams can maintain contact during cybersecurity incidents even if primary systems are compromised.
"Recent cyberattacks have shown how critical teams can go dark when their usual communication channels fail," said Jason Walsh, COO at Mode. "This partnership with ADVANTUS360 helps address that vulnerability head-on."
The collaboration delivers three key benefits:
- A secure backup communication platform that keeps incident response teams connected.
- Expert implementation support from ADVANTUS360's cybersecurity professionals.
- Simplified vendor management through consolidated services.
"Mode fills a crucial gap in incident response planning," said Regan Herbst, Account Executive & Team Lead at ADVANTUS360. "Our clients increasingly recognize the need for reliable backup communication channels during cyber crises."
Recent high-profile incidents have highlighted how breaches can disable standard communication tools like Microsoft Teams and Slack, underlining the importance of isolated backup systems. This need is reflected in frameworks from NIST, CIS, and ENISA, which specifically call for backup communication protocols.
"When an incident disrupts an organization's primary systems, having a secure alternative communication channel isn't just helpful – it's essential for effective response and recovery," said Scott Orth, CEO of Mode.
