keep business up and enemies down.
mantener el negocio al alza y a los enemigos a la baja


Explanation:
Como falta un poco más de contextualización, también se podría traducir diciendo "mantener el negocio en marcha (o en funcionamiento) y a los enemigos bajo control", pero he intentado jugar con el "up and down" del texto original.

Incluso se me ocurre "incrementar el negocio y reducir al enemigo" (mantengo el concepto de enemigo, puesto que entiendo que hablamos de cyberseguridad)??

keep business up and enemies down.
Potencie su negocio y protéjase de amenazas


Explanation:
Se trata de una empresa especializada en seguridad informática. Mi sugerencia es ofrecer un lema (“slogan”) que sea breve, pueda recordarse fácilmente y resulte fiel al propósito de la empresa, que es ofrecer aplkciaciones informáticas que garanticen la seguridad del negocio del cliente manteniendo alejadas las amenazas informáticas. En este contexto, prefiero hablar de “amenazas” o “riesgos” más que de “enemigos”, un término que, en mi opinión, esta empresa emplea en sentido figurado.

Es evidente que este lema comercial forma parte del sitio web y los productos de la empresa XXXXX:

https://www.imperva.com/products/application-security/
Keep business up and enemies down – in the cloud or on-premises.
Helping you mitigate risk.
Applications are being churned out faster than security teams can secure them. Imperva gets ahead of the challenge, mitigating risk for your business with full-function defense-in-depth, protecting not just your websites but all your applications and networks from attack.
XXXXX Application Security
We provide multi-layered protection to make applications and websites always available, always user-friendly, and always secure.

  -> Gracias, Mónica. Creo que no se trata tanto de "mitigar" (= reducir, aminorar) los riesgos, como de evitarlos en su integridad.

keep business up and enemies down.
Cómo asegurar la continuidad del negocio frente a amenazas externas


Explanation:
Hasta ahora me parece que las respuestas no han captado el sentido de "up" y "down" en el contexto de la seguridad informática. En esta situación "up" no se refiere a un aumento del negocio, sino de mantener la empresa operativa ("up and operating" en otras palabras) ante una amenaza. Seguramente mi propuesta sea mejorable, pero creo que se debe tomar en cuenta el sentido correcto de la frase.
