Cyber security is one of the most important elements of IT in today’s digital age. Businesses and individuals alike are at an ever-growing risk of their networks and systems being exploited by cybercriminals.
Take a moment to find out more about how we implement cyber security principles and learn why it is a vital component for your business.
What is Cyber Security and Why Do I Need It?
In today’s world, it is crucial to have robust cyber security elements in place to protect yourself and your company from cyberattacks that could cause you financial loss and potentially reputational damage. There are numerous forms of cyber threats, all of which you should be aware of, and take steps to mitigate. They include:
- Malware and ransomware, including worms, viruses, Trojans, spyware, bootkits and rootkits
- Phishing scams
- DNS poisoning attacks that cause traffic to be redirected to malicious websites
- Backdoors that give third parties remote access
- DDoS attacks that flood servers, networks, and systems with traffic so they are taken offline
Ensuring adequate cyber security protection is vital to address possible vulnerabilities and to guard against any computer system damage or unauthorised access, and that’s where we can assist.
Staff Security Awareness Training
One of the most valuable services that we can offer is Security Awareness Training for your staff members. Recent statistics show that a shocking 80% of cyber attacks occur due to human error – something which is entirely preventable with the correct knowledge. Therefore, ensuring that your workforce is well-equipped with the necessary skills and understanding to identify and prevent such incidents could not be more important.
We are able to provide high-quality Security Awareness Training to equip your team with everything they need to avoid falling foul of cyber criminals. Every member of staff needs to understand their own key role in preventing cyber crime and to recognise their own responsibility for maintaining cyber security at all times. Our training is delivered in a highly engaging and accessible way, using videos and quiz questions to demonstrate each point and to help participants gain an in-depth understanding of the subject matter.
Creation of IT Policies
Having a clear IT policy in place for your organisation will ensure optimal security for your data and maximum protection for your systems. When IT policies are drawn up and implemented effectively, they combat threats like phishing and ransomware while also defining how the company will operate, manage, and implement technology in order to remain compliant with all regulatory and legal requirements.
As experts in the industry, we can create Acceptable Use, Password, and Software Policies to protect your organisation and give it a clear framework from which to operate. With well-defined policies in place, your workforce will have a clear awareness and understanding of their responsibilities and expectations while decision making and problem solving will become easier thanks to outlined processes.
