How criminals can target your business:
The software run by cyber criminals scans the internet to find IP addresses that it can use to access networks & devices. Any IP address on that list can make an effective target.
At MFTS, we can offer you a free security health check. This would involve looking at the security currently offered by your systems to see what might need updating or changing within your business. We would alert you to any issues we find and advise on how to resolve them in the immediate term, working with what you currently operate.
It may be the case that you require a more thorough audit across your network or on certain parts of it. Though not part of the free health check, we can carry out this level of network testing for you as part of the services we offer. Please talk to us if this is something you require.
We work with the best cyber security companies such as SentinelOne and N-ABLE.
Understanding Cyber Threats
It is vital to protect your business from cyber threats. Cyber criminals use techniques such as phishing, malware, ransomware and social engineering to infiltrate business systems. With the evolution of AI technology, these tactics are becoming more sophisticated and harder to detect.
Cyber criminals use phishing attacks to target employees. They do this by impersonating someone the employee might know and trust, such as a manager, the aim being to lure them into disclosing sensitive information. Phishing appears in the form of an email or message that appears genuine.
Malware and ransomware, on the other hand, can cause severe disruptions to your business by locking you out of your systems. Cyber criminals then demand a ransom for them to be unlocked, causing significant financial losses and reputational damage.
Cyber criminals can also manipulate people into giving away confidential data or granting unauthorised access to systems. Essentially, they exploit human trust to achieve their own advantage.
Benefits of Regular Cyber Security Checks
It is vital to carry out regular cyber security checks to maintain the safety of your business.
These checks can ensure that your business complies with important regulations such as GDPR, helping you avoid the possibility of legal issues or hefty fines. By regularly assessing your current security measures, you can create a robust cyber security plan that is tailored to your specific business needs.
Regular checks can identify and reduce vulnerabilities. This ensures you protect your business from potential financial losses and reputational damage caused by data breaches. Investing in regular cyber security checks is the first step towards safeguarding your business’s future.
What an IT security health check would typically include:
An initial meeting to talk about your existing procedures – the software you use, the equipment that requires protection, and the way that staff access and use the systems and devices on the network.
A remote software check to assess vulnerabilities – of the server, a selection of the devices using the network and a firewall test.
Production of a free report – to advise on what has been found and what needs to be done.
