Cybersecurity

“Someone cracked my password. Now I need to rename my puppy.”

Cybersecurity is one of the main challenges businesses face with their IT infrastructure and digital technologies. Over the last few years attacks have increased on businesses of all sizes with the total average cost of a breach across all businesses put at around £3,2m in 2023.

 

Phishing attacks make up 70% of all initial entries into an organisation with “drive-by” ransomware being increasingly common in order to extort money in return for your data. Likewise ‘spear phishing’ (highly targetted emails) are being seen by more finance departments driving payments and invoice fraud.

How we can help

At Barkaday we offer a range of cybersecurity services designed to give you layers of protection. Should one layer be breached the subsequent layers are designed to maximise your chances of stopping an attacker before they can get a foothold.

With 70% of all breaches starting with a phishing email it is vitally important that your staff are trained on cybersecurity awareness but specifically on how to identify and respond to a suspected phishing email should it get through your other layers of security.

 

With our RiskBuddy.io platform we provide tailor made awareness training content with customisable phishing simulations and dark web monitoring (in case any of your user credentials are already breached) along with a selection of pre-written policies that you can immediately implement into your business.

Up to date end point protection on all your devices, computers and servers providing real-time protection from viruses and malware. We deploy a full detection, prevention and monitoring solution with pro-active threat hunting with specalised tools to provide ransomware canaries (these are triggered if files become encrypted) allowing the chance to isolate the device from your network before any foothold has the chance to spread across your business.

Our email and Office365 security solutions provide you with real-time screening of emails to block spam, phishing and virus/malware attacks. Emails are automatically checked for threats and quarantined if our systems detect any possible issues.

Data loss protection tools monitor your outbound emails as well as Office365 environment for suspicious activity such as personal information being sent, credit card details in email communications, specific files being shared or emailed and public Onedrive links. 

Ensuring your have up-to-date and complete backups of your critical business information is the final line of defence.

Not only useful if files are accidentally deleted, if you suffer a ransomware attack and know you can restore to a clean state from your backups it gives you and your business more options on how to deal with a breach.

 

Our backup solutions not only protect your local data but also integrate with cloud and SaaS platforms to ensure the data you hold is protected across your business.
