Security Consultancy – Securing Peace of Mind Is your organisation prepared for a major information security breach? If not, you could be putting its future at risk. But what are the real risks that your organisation actually faces? Most organisations will have rudimentary security measures in place. But even with the latest anti-viral software and firewalls, a determined hacker could breach your defences and maliciously cause havoc within your system. What would it cost your organisation to have your entire network down? How would it affect your business if customers visiting your website had their personal data stolen? Then there’s the risk that your computer systems could become part of a BotNet, a network of machines infected with a Trojan, which allows hackers to use your computing network to attack other computers. How would your clients feel about your computers being part of a so-called ‘Zombie Army’? Security starts with the physical hardware that stores and carries your sensitive data. Severs, desktops, laptops, handhelds and memory drives are all at risk from data security breaches. But with more and more data being held off-site on ‘cloud’ computing systems, it’s also important to thoroughly protect the channels through which your company sends, stores and receives data. What would happen if your company’s most sensitive files were suddenly made public? Information Security consultants aren’t just there to help you pick up the pieces after an attack, they’re there to help you prevent them, minimising risk and reducing damage if an attack does occur. They’ll make sure you have all the latest security software and that you keep up to date by installing the latest security patches onto your hardware. They’ll help you to keep your network running securely, reducing the chance of downtime that could be costly for your business. They’ll also speak with you about ensuring that you meet confidentiality, data protection and information security regulations that are often legally required. Security consultants offer the peace of mind that your organisation is doing all it possibly can to prevent these kind of attacks. Following their expert advice, the data on your system is secure, your website is safe for your customers to use, and your systems won’t be hijacked to attack another organisation’s computers. Consider outsourcing your IT security as a method of insuring against the potential damage to your organisation’s income, reputation and future. Protecting your organisation’s information data network is increasingly challenging. By outsourcing your needs, you can have access to the security expertise that many small and medium businesses lack. Accessing security consultants is more cost effective than employing your own in-house security team. If there is an attack, you’ll want the very best personnel securing your systems and protecting your data – as it happens. What will happen if the attack occurs in the middle of the night? Whilst your IT staff are asleep? Could an unnoticed security breach turn into a PR nightmare? Don’t lose sleep over your organisation’s information security.
