Your Business Security Journey

When you start thinking about security technologies in business it can be quite overwhelming.

As a business owner you should consider your security posture:

• What do you think about security technology in your business?

• When was the last time you did a risk assessment on your business?

• When was the last time you did a risk assessment for your customers?

The Current Technology Security Landscape

Cybersecurity is no longer about the future; it is centred on what’s happening today.

Analysts have been writing about threats for decades and businesses have been reading about them daily. Regulatory bodies have been discussing the need for change and governments have been leading with privacy legislation. Timeless IMS focus on helping and managing clients to establish and meet privacy requirements as the number of cybercrimes accelerates. We also recognise it can be uncomfortable to talk to prospects and our clients about cybersecurity because they think they have all their bases covered with the most common objections being “It won’t happen to me” and/or “My data is not attractive to hackers”.

To help combat the rising threat of attacks on small and medium businesses, it’s increasingly necessary to consider security that starts at home. Turnkey solutions can provide a fully managed protection experience. Focused on discovering suspicious activity such as network changes, activity on key endpoints and servers, stolen credentials on the dark web, and suspicious O365 activity. We recognise and use a proven security architecture to ensure that our own infrastructure and all our managed client’s businesses are protected.

Below are 15 ways to protect your business from a Cyberattack:

1. Perform a Security Assessment 2. Secure your email 3. Apply security policies on your devices and network 4. Train your users and tell them about data security, email attacks; Remind them of the businesses policies and procedures 5. Protect your computers with

Endpoint Detection and

Response (EDR) 6. Utilise Multi-Factor

Authentication

7. Keep all your devices up to date, especially Microsoft,

Adobe and Java products 8. Subscribe to a Dark Web managed service, to know in real-time what password and accounts have been posted on the Dark Web

9. Use big data engines to review all event and security logs with Security Incident and

Event Management (SIEM) 10. Cloud based security with

Web Gateway Security to block threats before the reach the office network

11. Mobile Device Security 12. A Firewall with Intrusion

Detection and Prevention

13. Encryption, especially on mobile devices 15. Cyber Insurance to protect the business income and cyber damage recovery

Businesses continue to face a rise in cyber security threats and with hybrid working models common across a considerable number of UK businesses, this is set to continue throughout 2022.
