More About Us
Huge thanks to your team including all your patient and sorely tested engineers over recent days.
You really are quite simply pure genius! You have managed to fix two things that others have failed at.
Just wanted to say you are all doing an amazing job. Thank you so much.
Email. It’s the number-one business application used by organisations. It’s also the number-one method used to carry out cyber-attacks. From malware delivery, phishing and impersonations, there is an increased threat in existence to your organisation.
Millions of businesses use Microsoft Exchange, Office 365, or a hybrid approach for email management. However, traditional approaches to secure email gateways are no longer enough. Email security isn’t single-layered and focused on anti-virus and anti-spam, your organisation is vulnerable to targeted email-borne attacks.
Attack methods are quickly evolving and growing more sophisticated, targeted and dangerous. Right now, the industry is faced with email-borne threats such as phishing attacks that deliver malicious attachments and URLs; impersonation fraud fuelled by social engineering and aimed at tricking employees; and ransomware attacks that can encrypt your data and take entire systems offline.
Be aware that Cloud Solutions, such as Office 365, still need this level of security, which is often overlooked.
Yes, Microsoft Windows 10 comes with Windows Defender however this is not deemed a comprehensive solution to protect against the latest threats such as ransomware.
By obtaining either Cyber Essentials standards you are ensuring that your business IT security meets an agreed industry standard. Much like a car would need to pass an MOT your systems would need to adhere to these standards to tell other business you are safe to work with. With cyber threats today hackers are looking to exploit business through the transit of a supplier or customer that may have weak systems. This standard ensures that business have confidence in their suppliers and or customers that they have considered and implemented the relevant measure to protect themselves against cyber threats.
A Next-Gen Firewall is a device that as well as providing all the standard features of a firewall to block unwanted traffic also includes additional levels of security. The firewall is able to inspect data at the application layer and filter unwanted or risky applications, along with this the devices talk to a central update server to continually learn and protect from the latest threats on the internet.
