Cyber Security Solutions

Cyber Security Solutions for Small Business

One of the major IT considerations for any business is managing cyber security.

Businesses create and store ever-increasing amounts of data, and transact over networks thousands of times a day, all of which presents an opportunity for cybercriminals and malware programs to attack.

Additionally, the implementation of General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) requires businesses to protect data in very specific ways.

Whether your data is stored on-site or remotely in the Cloud, it is vital to ensure that your cyber security is robust, up to date and properly implemented across your devices and networks.

Multi-Factor Authentication

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) or Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a specific way of protecting Cloud systems.

Our team is able to set up MFA for your business to ensure an extra layer of authentication – for example using an authorised mobile number for codes via text – for your systems such as Microsoft Business 365.

Anti-Spam Email Filtering

One of the most often used methods for attempting to hack into systems is via email, with cybercriminals sending emails that look legitimate but may ask for sensitive details as a way of breaching secure systems and data.

To help reduce this problem we set up anti-spam filtering based on a live database of potential threats that are stopped before they get to you. This can massively reduce threats and disruption to your business.

External Penetration Testing

An extremely important aspect of cyber security is understanding exactly how robust your protection systems are. The more parts of your IT systems that connect via the internet (VoIP phones, EPOS, databases, accounts systems, etc.), the more tunnels and ports are likely to be required to make those IT systems work, so making sure only the correct ones are open and secure is essential.

To ensure that your cyber security is totally secure, fit for purpose and up to date, we can implement regular tests that look for any vulnerabilities in your system.

Each test produces a report, and any issues can be worked on to either remove or mitigate them.

Cyber Essentials

As well as specific actions to improve your security there are also programmes such as the Government’s National Cyber Security Centre’s “Cyber Essentials” scheme that will help you to protect your business.

This is a self-assessment programme that will take you through a series of logical steps to ask the correct questions and if required instigate corrective actions across your complete cyber systems. iTEXS is Cyber Essentials Certified.
