IT and cyber security
Protect your computer systems..
IT Infrastructure, using IT Infrastructure might preclude network components, including hardware software and data, as well as digital infrastructure from attacks, unauthorised access or being damaged.
In recent years there has been a rapid development of cyber risks in both size and number, and the degree of impact on individuals, governments and organisations.
Well informed organisations consider cyber security a critical business issue.
A vCIO service from SevenC Computing will assess and implement controls based on these 3 pillars:
1. People
Making every employee aware of their roles in preventing and reducing cyber threats.
2. Process
Clearly defined and documented processes with roles and responsibilities, that specify the procedure tofollow when a threat is suspected.
3. Technology
Access controls, antivirus, next generation firewalls, DNS filtering, email security solutions.
This three-pronged approach will protect your organisation from both organised and opportunistic attacks, as well as common internal threats such as users falling for a phishing or mistakenly sending an email to an unintended recipient.
Why?
-
Costs of data breaches are soaring
-
Cyber-attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated
