Cyber Security

EVALUATE / EDUCATE / TEST

Cybersecurity is an essential aspect of protecting your digital assets against unauthorized access, theft, and damage.

As technology advances, so do the methods and tools used by cybercriminals, making it increasingly important to stay vigilant and proactive in safeguarding your information. From securing networks to training employees on proper security practices, there are many steps you can take to enhance your cybersecurity posture and prevent cyberattacks. At its core, cybersecurity is about maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data, and implementing the right measures can help ensure that your digital assets remain safe and secure.

Main Types of Cyber Attack

How to Mitigate Cyber Threats

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.

Firewalls need to be properly set up to prevent unauthorised access to your internal networks.

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.

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.

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.

Computers and network devices should be configured to minimise vulnerabilities and provide only the services required.

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 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.

No single measure can guarantee complete protection against cyber threats

It is important to note that no single measure can guarantee complete protection against cyber threats.

It is essential to implement a multi-layered approach to cyber security, combining technical measures with employee training and a robust incident response plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cyber security, and why is it important for businesses?

Cyber security refers to the practice of protecting computer systems, networks, and data from digital attacks. It is essential for businesses to safeguard their digital assets against threats such as malware, ransomware, phishing, and data breaches to maintain confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.

Common cyber threats include malware, which includes viruses, worms, and trojans, ransomware attacks, phishing attempts, DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks, insider threats, and social engineering tactics aimed at manipulating individuals into divulging sensitive information.

Best practices for cyber security include implementing strong password policies, regularly updating software and systems, conducting employee training on security awareness, using encryption for sensitive data, implementing multi-factor authentication, and maintaining backups of critical data.

 Businesses can assess their cyber security posture through various means, including conducting regular security audits, vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and compliance assessments against industry standards and regulations.

 

Outsourcing cyber security services to companies like Savenet Solutions offers several benefits, including access to specialised expertise, cost-effectiveness compared to maintaining an in-house team, continuous monitoring and threat detection, and staying up-to-date with the latest security trends and technologies.

 

 

Businesses can ensure compliance with industry-specific regulations by working with cyber security providers like Savenet Solutions that have expertise in regulatory requirements such as GDPR, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and others. These providers offer tailored solutions and guidance to help businesses meet compliance standards.

In the event of a cyber security incident, businesses should have a comprehensive incident response plan in place. This plan may include steps such as containing the incident, assessing the extent of the damage, restoring systems from backups, notifying stakeholders, and conducting a post-incident review to prevent future occurrences.

 

 

Savenet Solutions helps businesses mitigate cyber security risks by offering a range of services, including proactive threat identification, risk assessment, implementation of robust security measures, disaster recovery solutions, and compliance support tailored to industry-specific needs.

Emerging trends and technologies in cyber security include artificial intelligence and machine learning for threat detection, zero-trust security models, cloud security solutions, endpoint detection and response (EDR), and security automation to enhance response times and efficiency.
