What is cyber security and why is it vital for business?

Cyber security is a concept that refers to the protection of information systems and data against cyber threats. This involves implementing practices, technologies and processes that aim to protect networks, devices, software and data from attack, damage or unauthorised access.

For business, cyber security is vital in today’s digital age. Most companies rely on technology and collect large amounts of data, including sensitive company and customer information. In this context, cybersecurity is fundamental to protecting this information and preventing negative consequences.

Neglecting cyber security can have serious consequences for business. Companies that don’t prioritise this become easy targets for cyber attacks. They can be exposed to ransomware attacks, data theft, service interruptions and many other types of cyber threats.

Why call in cyber security specialists?

Here are some of the most important reasons why it’s beneficial to use our cyber security services:

The diversity and constant evolution of cyber threats

Cyber threats are extremely diverse and evolving at a rapid pace. From viruses and malware to phishing and ransomware attacks, there is a wide range of threats that businesses face online. These threats are constantly evolving to exploit new vulnerabilities, making it difficult to protect against them without the help of cyber security services.

Complexity of IT systems and networks

IT systems and business networks can be extremely complex, with multiple access points and interconnections. Monitoring and protecting these systems and networks can be extremely difficult for staff inexperienced in cybersecurity. Our cybersecurity specialists have the experience and knowledge to understand this complexity and implement effective security measures tailored to the specifics of your business.

The need for rapid response to security incidents

In the event of a cybersecurity incident, response time is crucial to minimise damage. Cybersecurity specialists are trained to respond quickly and effectively, limiting the impact of the incident.

The role of cyber security consultancy

Cybersecurity consulting plays a key role in protecting businesses. Our specialists can perform risk assessments and identify vulnerabilities in your business IT infrastructure. They can also develop a customised cyber security plan.

Benefits of using Firewall as a Service (FWaaS)

Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) is a cybersecurity service that protects a business’s data by monitoring and controlling network traffic. This service acts as a guardian of the data flow, allowing or blocking certain types of traffic according to predefined settings. FWaaS is a cloud solution that can be implemented and managed by our specialists and is part of the integrated IT management services we offer.

FWaaS includes key data security features such as web filtering, which blocks access to unsafe or malicious websites, advanced threat protection (ATP), which identifies and blocks new and sophisticated threats, intrusion prevention system (IPS), which detects and prevents unauthorised network access attempts, and domain name system (DNS) security, which protects against attacks targeting DNS infrastructure.

The benefits of using the FWaaS service are multiple. Here are some of the most important ones:

• Improved protection

It offers enhanced protection against cyber threats with advanced attack detection and blocking capabilities. Also, using a FWaaS service allows security management to be outsourced, which can lead to reduced costs for the business as there is no need to purchase and maintain physical firewall equipment.

• Flexibility and scalability

The service can be tailored to the needs and size of the business, and can be expanded or reduced depending on the requirements of traffic dynamics. At the same time, using the FWaaS service provides access to the latest security technologies, as it is constantly updated by the service provider.

• FWaaS helps businesses protect their online data and operations, minimising the risk of security breaches and ensuring compliance with data security regulations. FWaaS also allows businesses to focus on their core business without having to worry about managing cybersecurity.
