How Our Cyber Security Services Can Help You

1. Risk advisory and identifying your needs

The best form of defence against cyber-attacks is education. Cyber criminals will attempt to pose as a trusted contact to try and scam or gain access to business data.

This is why we offer full in-house Cyber Security training to ensure your staff know exactly how to spot these threats and report them before they become an issue.

2. Defence and detection

Using the latest EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) Software. We go beyond typical Anti-Virus to ensure your machines are constantly monitored at all levels for any threats that have got past the first line of defence.

EDR sits after the anti-virus software, with real cyber security experts acting when necessary.

3. Response and recovery

With our 24/7 support line, if you are unsure on an email or document, would like some advice around Cyber-Security or simply want to restore a file from a backup.

Our staff will be available for you around the clock and are constantly training on the latest threats and technologies.

Why is Cybersecurity Important?

Cyber security is a paramount facet of businesses of all shapes and sizes.

Regardless of the scale, businesses face a vast number of cyber threats, ranging from ransomware to data breaches. Small to medium-sized businesses are often considered less secure by cybercriminals and are increasingly targeted; this is due to a lack of knowledge surrounding the subject and limited protection.

The average annual cost of cybercrime for businesses is estimate at approximately £15,300 per victim.

It’s more important than ever for businesses to have a conversation around cyber security and adopt a mindset that includes cyber discussion across all aspects of day-to-day operations.

Not only is cybercrime more prevalent than ever, but with the rise in AI and advances in the technologies we use in our day to day, it is presenting itself to be more of a risk to businesses day by day.
