HOW EFFECTIVE ARE YOUR IT SECURITY PROVISIONS AT PROTECTING YOUR BUSINESS?
More than ever, protecting your business today requires a comprehensive IT Security strategy that addresses all vulnerabilities.
The Importance of an IT Security Strategy
Today businesses of all sizes, all over the world, are experiencing an unrelenting level of cyber attacks, especially ransomware attacks.
This means having an effective IT Security Strategy is imperative.

Our team of consultants and engineers can assist you to develop, implement and support an enterprise class IT security system for your business that will provide cost effective, state of the art levels of protection.
In the past, SMEs have often relied on anonymity as a defence against cyber threats, but events over the last 2 years have shown that anonymity is in fact no defence. Today organisations all over the world, regardless of size, are suffering malware infections at a level not previously experienced, especially ransomware breaches, and this situation is likely to get worse before it gets better.
The bottom line is that all organisations, regardless of size, are at great risk today so having an effective IT Security plan and strong, up to date security measures in place, is a business imperative.

- BUILDING A PRACTICAL AND EFFECTIVE IT SECURITY PLAN
- THREAT DETECTION AND PREVENTION
- VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT
An effective security plan today will have 2 primary elements:
1. Security Breach Prevention measures
According to a recent report from the Online Trust Alliance (an international non-profit organisation), not all, but the majority of reported security breaches could have been prevented by up-to-date security provisions and basic security best practices.
This shows that having a well thought out IT /security Strategy and deploying proven IT security products, properly installed and regularly checked, will go a long way to keeping your business safe from cyber threats.
Preventing security breaches is better than (and much cheaper than) cure when it comes to IT security.
The prevention measures should include:
– Strong anti-malware and content security with comprehensive email, web and endpoint security capabilities to detect threats before they can damage your systems
– A strong, application-level firewall
– Regular patching and updates
– Strong passwords and 2 factor authentication
– Security Best Practices. All security provisions must be installed according to the vendor’s guidelines and supplemented with security best practices
– Monitoring and regular checks and tests to make sure that all elements are up to date and working
2. Damage Minimisation and Rapid Recovery
The attack prevention measures should be supplemented by a modern Backup and Recovery System that provides granular Recovery Points for your systems and data. This will enable quick Recovery Times to minimise business disruption and the amount of data that can be lost should a breach occur.
KadecIT’s security team has been helping SMEs implement and support effective, dependable security systems, using market leading security products and built with industry best practices, for over 10 years.
We can assist you to review and assess your current IT Security provisions, identify any weaknesses and help you create and implement a cost-effective IT Security Plan that will provide enterprise class protection for your organization.
Threat detection and prevention remains the most important element of any IT Security Plan.
This part of the plan requires:
Strong anti-malware and content security with:
– Proven capabilities
– Fast protection against new malware
– Blocks in the Cloud rather than after download
– Light use of clients’ computer resources
– Zero Day attack prevention
– Ransomware prevention capabilities
– Comes from a vendor with strong commitment and track record to ongoing development and innovation
An application level firewall
– New generation firewall with proven record of effectiveness
– A full set of protections including Firewall, Intrusion Prevention, Sandboxing as a minimum
– Option for High Availability
– Strong support from a committed, active vendor
Regular reviews to confirm that the systems are fully operational and up to date.
KadecIT provides a range of market leading anti-malware and firewall solutions to help you create a strong and effective IT security for your business.
Attacking vulnerabilities in Operating Systems and applications is still one the most common ways for malware to infect computers – and one of the simplest to address.
The Importance Of Patching
Keeping Operating Systems and Applications up to date with Patches is one of the most effective security measures an organisation can undertake.
However, patching can be a time-consuming process and, in some circumstances, it can create problems.
Vulnerability Shielding (Virtual Patching)
Sometimes patching is not a viable option for many reasons.
When this happens Vulnerability Shielding can be deployed and it has several advantages over Patching.
– Unlike Patches, Virtual Patches deploy automatically — no human effort involved
– They do not actually change the Operating System or Application as patches do, so the risks of problems occurring is minimised
– They can protect systems from malware and exploits when no Patches exists, such as Zero Day exploits
KadecIT’s Security consultants can help you to implement a patching or Vulnerability Shielding system that is suitable tor your particular situation.
