Protecting Endpoint Devices

Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs) often rationalise not having proper protection by saying that hackers wouldn’t be interested in them as they’re not big enough. There are plenty of rich pickings in most SMBs in and of themselves, but hackers actually prioritise using SMBs as a route into the larger organisations through their supply chain. Online criminals manipulate the trusted relations that supply chains offers. Larger businesses are increasingly demanding that businesses in the supply chain are compliant with various Cyber Security standards for their own secuirty and to acheive better business insurance rates themselves.

Every endpoint device (Laptop / PC / Tablet / Mobile) used by your business needs protecting from being compromised by malicious activity and causing problems for your business. Being involved in a supply chain hacking situation can damage your reputation that is difficult to overcome and recover from.

The Minimum protection required is for your device Operating System and 3rd party applications to be up to date, network connections are managed to prevent problematic access to infected sites on the internet, and incidents responded to by trained professionals.

The Compliance protection package ensures that only business approved software is allowed to run on devices by using a Zero Trust or Privileged Access Management approach to software use on devices. This may be a culture shock for SMEs historically but is the basis on which Compliance with Cyber protection standards can be acheived.

The Business protection package adds scanning of invoices as email attachment for rogue bank account information on attachments like invoices to protect from making payments in unusual circumstances.

Installing the protection software for your devices, including training on its use if required, is charged at the standard hourly rate agreed with you.
