How the right cyber security approach can solve your flexible-working IT headaches.

In the new era of hybrid, flexible and remote working organisations have rapidly deployed cloud infrastructure, services, and applications to ensure customers’ needs are met effectively and efficiently. The pace at which IT teams deployed these new ways of working meant the security and protection of data, hardware and cloud systems are ever more paramount.

Last year Forbes found that nearly 80% of senior IT and IT security leaders believe their organisations lack sufficient protection against cyberattacks. Despite increased IT security investments made in 2020 to deal with distributed IT and work-from-home challenges.

We’ve found many organisations aren’t always keeping on top of infrastructure configurations, actively mitigating risks of phishing, limiting the amount of data stored on the cloud, understanding the security issues with the Internet of Things (IoT) or ensuring their IT infrastructure is robustly secure.

As a trusted Managed Service Provider (MSP), we understand the devastating effects a cyber-attack, data breach or security vulnerability can have on an organisation. That is why we regularly advise our clients on the best way to proactively address the latest cyber security threats and vulnerabilities. Our portfolio of managed cyber security services is extensive and includes the latest technological advances available to Enterprise-level organisations.

Maintaining a good to excellent cyber security posture takes continual management. Having a rounded IT roadmap and working with a proactive managed IT support partner will ensure your organisation has top-rated cyber security readiness.

Cyber Security Discovery

In a recent article on cloud security, Raconteur said “The rise of cloud computing represents a potential bonanza for cybercriminals, who are constantly probing for weak links in defence. Could your firm be doing more to protect itself?” (Five cloud security risks your business needs to address, March 2022)

To ensure your organisation is protected against the increasing prevalence of cyber-attacks and hacks our Microsoft certified cyber security team has created a three-stage review to highlight how an organisation can maximise its security posture.

A cyber security posture is much like a personal credit rating. This includes an organisation’s cyber security readiness:

  • The level of visibility you have of your IT inventory.

  • Current controls and processes are in place to protect from attack.

  • Your ability to detect, contain, react, and recover from security events.

  • The level of automation in your security services.

Our Cyber Security Discovery is the first step to giving an organisation the knowledge and tools to ensure the IT ecosystem – hardware, software, servers, networks, cloud storage and endpoints – is sufficiently protected.

At IT Champion, we pride ourselves on our IT expertise and dedication to our clients. We have a portfolio of cyber security products and services that draw upon Enterprise level technology to enable you to reduce and manage your organisation’s cyber security risk without impacting daily tasks or changing long-term commitments.
