Secure your data

Secure your data, and you could save your business at least £30,000. That’s the average loss a small company suffers from one single, solitary security breach. Despite that, around one in two companies still don’t pay their due care and attention to their data security.

IT security needs to be thought about as three different domains: technology, people and the physical world. Each is interlinked, and considering them as separate entities won’t do the job.

Hardware such as firewalls is a part of the story, but on its own a firewall will not stop every threat. So, while our Perimeter Defence Service uses a wide range of techniques and technologies to identify, quarantine and get rid of viruses, Trojans, worms and other threats and also works with many of the industry-leading protection products such as McAfee and Symantec, we will also help you consider the role of your people and the physical protection of your data and other assets.

In many cases, the root cause of IT security or network security breaches can be inadequate policies or lack of awareness by staff. It could be that they haven’t yet come to grips with the security features of Windows, or haven’t considered the data security implications of losing an unsecured USB key (in just two years, around 70% of companies lost sensitive data through the loss or theft of USB keys). Perhaps you're letting staff use their own devices on your network, but aren't sure of the implications?
