FAQs About Cyber Security
What is cyber security?
Cyber security involves safeguarding digital systems, networks, and data through measures that prevent and minimise unauthorised access and/or cyber threats such as malware, phishing, and ransomware.
The practice involves using various technologies, processes, and policies to ensure the safety of sensitive information – whilst also ensuring confidentiality, maintaining integrity, and availability of digital assets.
Cyber security is essential for both individuals and organisations alike, helping prevent financial loss, reputational damage, and operational disruption.
Why are managed cyber security services important for businesses?
Managed cyber security services are vital for businesses because they offer continuous expert oversight (with round-the-clock capabilities and monitoring), help meet compliance requirements, and defend against constantly changing cyber threats. This frees up internal IT and security team time, allowing them to concentrate on business critical tasks such as growth and scalability instead of security concerns.
What are the different types of cyber security?
There are several different types of cyber security, these include:
1. Network Security
This defends your business’s network(s) from hackers, unauthorised access and misuse, and keeps your data secure.
2. Information Security
This protects sensitive data; no matter whether stored, in use, or in transit, by ensuring it remains confidential, accurate, and available when needed.
3. Endpoint Security
This secures devices like laptops, mobile phones, and desktops. Protecting them from malware, phishing, and other threats that target individual and/or employee access points.
4. Application Security
This focuses on identifying and fixing (also known as patching) flaws, gap and vulnerabilities in software and applications to prevent cyber criminals from exploiting them.
5. Cloud Security
This safeguards data, applications, and systems hosted in the cloud from cyber attacks, data loss, and unauthorised access.
6. Identity & Access Management (IAM)
This controls who can access what within a system typically using login credentials, permissions, and user verification (e.g. multi-factor authentication/MFA) to prevent breaches.
7. Operational Security (OpSec)
This protects day-to-day business activities and decisions by keeping critical information and data out of the wrong hands.
8. Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity
This ensures that business systems can quickly recover and day-to-day operations can continue after a cyber attack or technical failure.
9. Critical Infrastructure Security
This defends vital systems (such as power grids, transport networks, and water supplies) from digital threats that could cause major disruptions and impact widespread areas of society or to a country.
Cloud security & better data protection with GDPR compliant managed cyber security solutions
The purpose of GDPR is to protect the data of EU citizens. It provides greater assurance of how the information is being used and protected when engaging with services across the globe.
Our managed cyber security solutions are GDPR compliant, ensuring an effective information management strategy that covers data encryption, identifying vulnerabilities, the detection of breaches through unauthorised activity monitoring, staff training, incident response and more.
