We Can be Your Partner in Reducing Cyber Security Risk

Yes, threats are increasing exponentially in sophistication, intensity, diversity, and volume. Cyber experts report significant escalation in external cyber-attacks, especially from criminal organizations and foreign state sponsored activities.

You may think that big businesses with more endpoints are more vulnerable than small businesses. Or, businesses with attractive data, like financial services companies or those in the healthcare industry, would be easy targets. That’s not always the case—of course, they hold an incredible amount of data, but it’s like trying to rob the Federal Reserve gold vault versus robbing a regular Joe on the street. Bigger businesses or those that handle sensitive data typically have the technology, regulations, and processes to protect themselves from cyberattacks. On the other hand, small and medium-sized businesses without dedicated IT expertise, cybersecurity technology, processes, or education are easy targets for hackers.

Yes. Cloud services promise to provide flexibility, scalability, measured service and certain cost efficiencies, but also present additional security risks associated with authentication, access and storage of government data. The total economic cost and different security elements of cloud services must be fully understood when evaluating cloud computing in general and the various deployment models (public, private, hybrid, community). Consumer-based cloud services used by government workers present additional risks because they may not offer rigorous security controls.

Phishing is a type of attack carried out to get money or steal information. The attacks can occur in many
ways, i.e., email, texts, phone calls, social media, etc.

One of the biggest challenges currently facing businesses is staying educated when it comes to cyber security and being aware of evolving cyber threats.

Small businesses are collectively subject to almost 10,000 cyber-attacks a day, according to new findings from the UK’s largest business group. Due to the high cost associated with a breach, 60% of these organisations go out of business within 6 months.
Without any kind of cybersecurity plan in place, businesses risk their privacy, client trust, financial integrity, employee integrity, data integrity and the longevity of the business.

In most cases, the simple answer is no.
Cybersecurity requires consistent education, company-wide processes, and executive-level commitment. Generally, there needs to be more awareness surrounding how quickly hackers can initiate a cyberattack, how quickly cyberattacks evolve, and how businesses need multiple layers of cybersecurity to protect themselves—especially in modern workplace environments where employees are working remotely and sharing a ton of important data via digital communication channels.

SIEM gathers security data from a variety of sources, including network devices, servers, applications and domain controllers.
