What is Cyber Security?

Cyber Security (also referred to as IT Security) is the practice of protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of business assets and systems. The term is broad-ranging and applies to everything from computer security to disaster recovery and end-user education

Cyber Security is a series of business processes and security technologies to safeguard the protection of your intellectual property from malicious threats and attacks

Current state in New Zealand

The number of reported Security breach events rises significantly each quarter in NZ. Despite most businesses not bothering to report these events – the trend is unwavering and shows no sign of slowing down. Bearing in mind that the vast majority of businesses do not report security breaches, financial losses are still in the millions per quarter and although difficult to quantify the reputational and operational impact is significant

New Zealand businesses understand that Cyber Security is important and you’ve all heard horror stories about various attacks and even accidental data leakage here in NZ – however, the “out of sight – out of mind” mentality still exists and businesses still do not protect themselves sufficiently … if at all

When it comes to Cyber Security you’re only as strong as your weakest link

How can we help?

Being a Cloud Service Provider we know a bit about Cyber Security … in fact, security is our number 1 priority and it will remain so

Our Security expertise, principles, policies and technology that is applied to our own hosted Cloud Services can be deployed to your own IT systems and services providing a robust, managed security solution

We believe Security is a process – a mix of people, business procedures and technology striving for continuous Security improvement. It is not a one size fits all approach, nor is it a set and forget exercise … it requires a rhythm of monitoring, reporting, upgrading and testing to ensure you remain protected

Cyber Security risks are here to stay – businesses should be focused on proactive threat detection and prevention rather than reactive remediation of attacks

Quality Cyber Security involves people, process & technology … it is about defining internal business policy, educating end users, deploying appropriate security technology and having your Security monitored, maintained, reported on and managed to ensure you remain proactive, current and secure

FAQ’s

Its nothing personal … small, medium or large – hackers don’t discriminate. The majority of hacking is automated using Internet bots and automated tools to discover and penetrate vulnerabilities. So you’re right – in almost all cases it’s not a targeted attack against your business but rather anyone that can be exploited

It’s a good start but it’s really nowhere near enough if you’re taking Cyber Security seriously. Its important to understand the various attack vectors. Any device or system that is Internet facing is potentially a security risk. The list is broad and includes: Servers, Networks & Network devices, VoIP systems & IP phones, Email, PC’s, Applications, Databases, ISP, Wi-Fi, Websites, Smartphones, IP cameras, IoT devices and the list goes on … so, keep up the good work with Windows patching but keep in mind that only covers a very small piece of potential risks
