IT Security

Cybersecurity is one of the most important aspects of your IT setup. Without robust security controls organisations can put themselves and their customers at risk.

Cyber attacks are no longer limited to big corporates, in fact smaller organisations now face the greatest threat from cybercriminals because generally they are softer targets. Organisations can be forced to shut their doors depending on the severity of the cyber-attack. At a minimum a cyber attack will cause disruption which can prove costly.

The good news is that you can minimise the risks by putting robust security controls in place and these don’t have to be bank breaking expensive. There are many reasons why you should take security seriously and Blue Footprint are on hand to provide you with our expert guidance, support and next generation security solutions including:

End-point Security
Endpoint security software is installed onto your devices to protect against malware, spyware and other similar threats. Scans and updates are centrally managed giving you an increased level of protection. Features include:

• Firewall protection including sandboxing, SSL inspection, intrusion prevention, anti-malware, application identification and content filtering.

• Protect your webcam and router from intruders. Test your passwords and scan your smart devices for vulnerabilities.

Boundary Firewalls
A boundary firewall is a network security system that enforces a set of rules about what incoming and outgoing network traffic can come in and out of the network. A firewall creates a barrier between a trusted internal network and an external broadband connection.

Encryption
Encryption is the method by which data is converted from a readable format or code to an encoded version that can only be decoded with access to a decryption key.Currently, encryption is one of the most popular and effective data security controls used by organisations. If an encrypted device is lost, stolen or given to the wrong person then the data is inaccessible without the related decryption key.

• Simple and powerful encryption for organisations of all sizes
