Tailored Cybersecurity Services for Small Businesses
At Savenet, we understand that cybersecurity is crucial for protecting small businesses from emerging digital threats. As cyberattacks grow more sophisticated, small businesses need a tailored, affordable solution that safeguards their operations without complicating their IT systems.
Savenet offers cybersecurity services designed to protect small businesses, ensuring their data, customers, and digital assets are secure, so they can focus on running their business with peace of mind.
Why Cybersecurity is Essential for Your Small Business
Cybersecurity threats such as malware, phishing, and ransomware can significantly disrupt business operations. Without adequate protection, businesses risk financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties. Small businesses, in particular, are often viewed as easy targets due to limited resources dedicated to cybersecurity.
How to Mitigate Cyber Threats
Cyber Security Awareness Training
Your staff are your biggest threat in the fight against Cyber Attacks. Once off training is not enough. You need to:
- Evaluate – Understand user vulnerability against evolving cyber threats.
- Educate – Strengthen user resilience with tailored training programs.
- Test – Automate regular phishing simulations that assess human risk to new attack techniques.
By providing your employees with regular cyber security awareness training will help to reduce the risk of human error such as clicking on malicious links or falling for phishing scams.
Firewall
Firewalls need to be properly set up to prevent unauthorised access to your internal networks.
Patch Management
It is imperative to keep software up to date: regularly update all software, including operating systems and applications, to ensure that vulnerabilities are patched and security is improved.
Access Control
User accounts should be assigned only to authorised individuals, be managed effectively, and provide the minimum level of access. Limit access to sensitive data to only those employees who require it for their job.
Malware Protection
Anti-malware software should be installed to protect your computers, important data and privacy. It requires an additional verification beyond a password such as a code sent to a mobile device, to access sensitive information or systems.
Secure Configurations
Computers and network devices should be configured to minimise vulnerabilities and provide only the services required.
Network Monitoring – SIEM solutions
Security information and event management, SIEM for short, is a solution that helps organizations detect, analyze, and respond to security threats before they harm business operations.
- Ability to work from anywhere
- Saving costs by reducing your hardware footprint and IT administration time
- Increased safety and wellbeing of staff through times of uncertainty
- Increased productivity – happier, more productive staff, reliable, secure and scalable infrastructure
- One provider, which means one port-of-call and one monthly subscription
Immutable Backup – not all Backup software covers you for Immutable Backups
Immutable means: incapable of or susceptible to change. An immutable backup is a way of protecting data that ensures the data is fixed, unchangeable, encrypted, or unable to be modified. Cyber Attacks are now also targeting company backups so the company has nothing to fall back on the event of an attack and will feel more pressure to pay the ransom.
