MANAGED CYBER SECURITY.

REDEFINED.

As a SME or business owner, Cyber Security may seem impossibly complex and filled with endless pitfalls – If you’re aware of them at all. News headlines about cyber-attacks may only tell the story that these are the traps destined only for big businesses, and companies with a large and public footprint but in truth the same complex and frequently surprise cyber-attacks are commonplace in businesses of all sizes.

A cyber security breach costs on average £11,000 to a small business (Source: Hiscox Insurance) and the impacts can be extremely widespread and fast.

To those businesses who are unprepared the effects are often insurmountable.
The difficulties that SMEs face when addressing cyber risks can be separated into financial costs and their ability to gain expert advice. Many small and medium-sized businesses lack the budget to invest in comprehensive defences and often decision makers are unaware of the risks and penalties that come by being unprepared. Advice from government and larger security focused organisations is often complex and indigestible to the layman SME.

At Join IT we believe that breaking down barriers is critical to securing the future for SMEs. These barriers are the endless lists of advice and guidance on how best to secure your business against cyber-attacks, and in a world where these risks are every-changing, and threats take on shape-shifting forms it takes maximum commitment to stay one step ahead.

The Join IT team are committed to keeping your business one step ahead and we have developed a digestible blend of intelligent mutli-layered solutions to detect, respond and prevent cyber threats.

OUR APPROACH TO CYBER SECURITY.

Our multi-step approach to Cyber Security is designed to be easily accessible and understandable for SMEs in all industries. We believe that if SMEs understand the risks and value the approach needed to stay one step ahead it will greatly improve the chance of staying protected for longer.

2. IMPLEMENT DEFENCES
Our comprehensive range of Security products include Managed Firewall, Email and Endpoint Security, Network Security Monitoring, and Encryption tools.

3. SECURITY IN-OPERATIONS SUPPORT
We keep your defences – defending. Our Security Operations Centre (SOC) provides a 24/7 pro-active defensive and responsive service to Cyber-threats. Our team also provide on-going vulnerability scanning assessments to keep you one step ahead and in line with cyber security standards.

4. SECURITY IN-BUSINESS AWARENESS
The biggest vulnerability is human error and SMEs can face cyber-attacks because of avoidable mistakes. At Join IT we believe training is key to bolstering an SMEs biggest defence – it’s employees. Our team regularly run workshops, on-site training, and skills awareness initiatives for our managed Security customers with the aim of nurturing a positive culture of cyber awareness in business.

THE TOP CYBER THREATS.

1.

PHISHING ATTACKS
Hackers use this type of attack to gain personal data via deception. Usually, by email or SMS hackers will hide malicious links in plain sight on what will appear to be a genuine webpage and will prey on your willingness to click before you think. All information requested is usually sensitive and stolen to gain access to your online profile.

2.

RANSOMWARE
What you may know to be a ‘Virus’ and designed to cause maximum harm to a computer or server. All types of viruses known as ‘Malware’ lock or disrupt the access to your files and data and may demand expensive fees to release in the form of a ransom. Ransomware attacks usually start when a successful ‘Phishing’ attack has taken place.

3.

DENIAL-OF-SERVICE-ATTACKS
Disrupting operations is the name of the game here for hackers. Denial-of-Service attacks can come seemingly out of nowhere to render unusable critical supply chain services, power and transport systems and online services where lots of individuals rely on them.

4.

MAN-IN-THE-MIDDLE ATTACKS
Intercepting information can be hugely lucrative to hackers. Man-in-the-Middle attacks gain access to conversations, transactions and sensitive data between genuine victims and legitimate services. A common hang-out for hackers using this type of attack is where large payments are being made, in sectors such as building, engineering, and manufacturing and using some of the other tactics above a successful attacker will divert and steal funds sometimes never to be seen again.
