Cyber security is discipline with its own language and terminology, often sounding more like a science fiction novel that the real world we live in. The words used can lead to greater uncertainty and even a lack of belief in the prospect of a real threat, but the threats are real and potentially very damaging.
The press is full of horror stories related to cyber attacks and hacking, creating a sense that an attack is inevitable. There is an element of truth to this. Someone will try to break into your computer systems for a variety of reasons (simply causing mischief, disrupting your business, extracting money or data or even for ideological reasons).
Can you entirely prevent this or are you faced with the fact that an attack will happen?
That is an impossible question to answer, so the best course of action is one that provides the best protection, deals with attacks, isolates the degree of damage caused, and recover as quickly and completely as possible.
These are specialist skills that are applied differently depending on the systems, software, applications, and networks you use. Pike IT can help you determine how secure you are, how best plug the most obvious gaps, and the impact that tighter security will have upon the way you work.
Whether you need an assessment, someone to lead your security team and upskill them, or simply to discuss what risk level is right for your business, then Pike IT are here to help.
