Cybersecurity is about allowing you to grow and develop your organisation in a secure environment.
Why should I care about Cyber Security?
Winning new clients (and keeping current ones)
A Cyber Essentials certification is becoming a “need to have” requirement as threat levels increase and the continued use of technology grows.
Loss of business
If you experience a breach or don’t have the right security processes in place this can result in a loss of trust from your customers leading to a loss of business.
Shielding your organisation from the criminals
Security is an organisational challenge comprised of technology, strategic and human factors. As such the best way to ensure the safety of your business and client data is to take a layered approach to your security, when you consult with us we consider all layers, supporting your business to make the best next step. The areas that we consider:
It goes without saying that just like everything in your business your security needs strategy. Tools and services in isolation will not help you maximise your ROI.
Proactive Security Scoring
We score every element of your security, this easy to digest system allows you to track your security, and identify where to improve.
Integrated Roadmap
By building security into your overall IT plan, you are able to better budget, maximise the value and ensure continued security.
Looking from a cyber-criminal point of view helps to highlight gaps in your perimeter and better tailor your awareness training for your staff.
External reconnaissance
We look at what information is available publicly about your business. We collect it, assess it and develop a greater understanding of how it can be used to create credible social engineering attacks against your organisation.
Phishing simulation
Phishing being the favoured tool of the cyber criminal. We create our own ‘safe’ phishing attacks against your team. This allows us to identify weak points and deliver training and policy changes to bolster your security.
Perimeter Vulnerability Scanning
We identify and close vulnerabilities before they are exploited.
An alarming number of security incidents come from ports and services which have either been left open by accident or potentially opened by a malicious actor as part of their attack.
Implementing controls and solutions which can help to reduce your attack surface.
User awareness training
Your staff are your best last line of defence, we’ll help you build a human firewall should the technology fail or be circumvented.
Managed anti-virus
Automatically spot and stop the common malware threats
Web content filtering
Defend against malicious applications, websites and phishing attempts through network activity and provides high-level content filtering to keep your staff productive.
Endpoint Detection & Response
Identify, stop and document advanced malware and suspicious behaviour within your network.
Being aware of security issues, is the first step to reacting to them.
Darkweb Monitoring
We search the Dark Web, to find early warning signs, that your organisations credentials have been leaked.
This allows to update credentials before the information leaked is used against your organisation or team by the cyber criminals.
Intrusion Detection
We monitor with the network, identifying potential intrusions. This allows us to eject these intruders, and critically identify how they entered and close these gaps.
Threat Detection & Response
Human operators working round the clock with machine learning to identify security incidents and provide clear remediation steps to stop issues in their tracks.
