We talk a big game when it comes to security.
Our strategy has breadth as it uses products from multiple technology providers. It is multi-layered, using specific utilities to combat specific attack scenarios. And it provides excellent security for your business, giving you exactly the protection you need. No more, no less.
And there’s good reason
75% of businesses fell victim to some kind of phishing attack in 2020 and that number is predicted to rise to 80% by 2022, so we aim to do our very best to combat this rise and make sure our clients don’t become a statistic!
The vast majority of the businesses we support have made the switch to Microsoft 365 as in most cases there is little sense in any alternative. There is however a misconception that because Microsoft store customer data, it is safe with them.
For the most part this is true – the data you upload to their data centres is safe from loss from degradation or failure, even natural disaster would you believe? But the Microsoft Shared Responsibility Model states they cannot be held responsible for protecting your data against:
- Accidental deletion
- Malware / Ransomware
- Malicious insiders or account theft
Added value, lower cost!
Over the last year, industry leaders have worked hard to put together new offerings in answer to the rise in cyber-crime, mainly due to the pandemic. The solutions will defend businesses large and small, office-based or remote working.
This rise in demand has, very nicely, had the knock-on effect of reducing costs per unit, so high budget security is now affordable security.
The team at Octagon Technology have done the research and tested the products and have created a fully-featured and effective cyber security package which can still be tailored to each individual business’s needs.
If you have twenty minutes to spare call me and I can tell you about the benefits of cyber security in depth.
