ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE

Cyber Security London - As a leading cyber security company, we advise on your cyber security strategy for critical data and systems using state of the art technologyAntivirus forms a core part of any security strategy. It helps to identify and protect against viruses, spyware, ransomware, and all other types of malware.

Strong antivirus also blocks unsafe links, downloads, and email attachments, and scans your PC for performance problems.

All in all, it works to ensure the safest day-to-day running of your software and machine against a cyber security attack.

SECURE FIREWALLSF

A crucial aspect of ensuring cyber security, a secure firewall constantly monitors incoming and outgoing network traffic from your computer. Firewalls either permit or block data packets based on a set of security rules.

The purpose of this is to establish a barrier between your internal network and any external sources (which could be cyber threats from the internet), making sure any dangerous traffic is blocked, traffic that may contain viruses or have been created by hackers looking to damage your system.

By using multiple firewalls provided by different vendors, we are able to create an intelligent form of cyber security that has additional layers of protection, making it far more difficult for criminals to violate your defences and access your systems.

INTRUSION DETECTION AND PREVENTION

Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems are broad terms that simply put, are cyber security measures that block threats to your system. Intrusion detection is reactive, it identifies and mitigates ongoing attacks, weeding out existing malware such as backdoors. It also detects social engineering such as phishing and prevents your software from being attacked, protecting your sensitive information.

Intrusion prevention is proactive, and preemptively blocks application attacks. It includes remote file inclusions that facilitate malware injections which can access private databases.

Used together, they protect your private and sensitive information.

INTEGRATION WITH ACTIVE DIRECTORY

Integration with Microsoft Active Directory or Azure Active Directory helps you to organise your company’s users by centralising the management of users, computers, and other objects within a network. It links to existing systems which allows you to articulate specific privileges for different roles and groups. Centrally controlling permissions in this way ensures that users have access only to the tools and systems that they require.

Active directory works by checking the submitted username and password when a user logs on, and determines whether this user has permissions to specific systems. Overall, the primary function of this is to authorise users within a windows domain, protecting your system.

APPLICATION AND WEB FILTERING

Application and Web Filtering actively sets and implements policies for which sites and applications users can access. This can be integrated with Active Directory, allowing you to set different permission levels for different user groups.

Web and URL filtering proactively blocks certain websites by not allowing their browsers to load pages from these sites, preventing users from gaining access, whether for security or productivity reasons.

Used together, Application and Web Filters make decisions based on the rules set in place by your company with our assistance, making it flexible and bespoke, based on your specific cyber security needs.
