Cyber security and Information Security can be cloudy businesses for most industry outsiders and non-technical individuals. Unfortunately, this often means that people only realise its importance when they are in the middle of a crisis. I have listed the core activities performed by Cyber Security companies below, specifically how we work at Spector, Information Security. Simply read on the topic of your choice for an explanation of the activity and how it can bring value to your business.
Patch management is the process of repairing vulnerabilities in infrastructure systems. It is vital to reduce risk and mitigate threats to your business. Once a vulnerability is discovered, it usually takes cybercriminals only a few days to learn how to exploit it, so this is an ongoing and critical activity.To ensure Patch management is successful, the following process should generally be adhered to Vulnerability Assessment
At Spector, Hardware patching is rolled out by engineers once they have been tested and Verified, to ensure that it will not cause errors. Critical third-party software patches are monitored by Spector engineers who advise clients when patching is required. We can conduct all of this in the background, so it will not hurt
Second only to its employees, a company’s most important asset is its data. It is therefore critical that data remains confidential, authentic and available throughout its life cycle. For this reason, a Cyber Security company will always have it as one of its priorities. Back up is the process of copying data and storing it to prevent loss of vital company information. What is less well-known and just as important, is the concept of Disaster Recovery: the act of restoring these copies to a live environment. In short, this implies knowing how long it will take for your systems to be back up and running again, and how much data has been lost in this process. Disaster Recovery is crucial so stay tuned for a further article on this topic very soon.
