The way we work is changing and business data is now stored in more than one location. With data now stored in Data centres, offices, home offices, and even phones, it’s time to think about how safe it is from cybercriminals.
LP Networks believe that Cyber Security needs a coordinated and cohesive approach. Effective Cyber Security is more than just installing anti-virus software and a firewall. It calls for a multi-layered approach to ensure that your business’ most important assets are kept safe and secure.
No matter how large or small your business is, it’s no longer a case of if, but when, someone will attempt to breach your cyber defences. Hackers are using increasingly advanced methods to steal your business and client data and gain access. Cybercriminals use a range of methods including Phishing, Man-in-the-Middle attacks, Malware, and Hacking, it’s becoming increasingly important that businesses take their Cyber Security extremely seriously.
With GDPR regulations now in force, it is vital that employee and customer data is protected and kept safe. Loss of data or data leaks can have a serious impact on both your business and that of your clients. The impact of not protecting the data you are responsible for can lead to not only fines but a seriously damaged reputation, that some businesses do not recover from.
The team at LP Networks have extensive experience in building IT infrastructures that can help protect your business from cyber-attacks. From Network and Data Security to creating encrypted backups for your most important files, we install layers of security that assist in keeping your business and your clients’ information safeguarded and defended.
We can help support and protect your business by creating security solutions such as:
• Backup and Business Continuity
•Wireless and Mobile device Security
What does “cyber security” include for a business?
Cyber security covers the systems, processes, and controls that protect your business from unauthorised access, data loss, and disruption. This includes device protection, network security, email security, backups, user training, and monitoring to reduce risk across the whole organisation.
Why is cyber security important for small and medium-sized businesses?
SMEs are frequently targeted because attackers assume security is weaker. Even a single incident can cause downtime, lost data, financial impact, and reputational damage. Good security reduces the chance of an incident and limits damage if something does happen.
How does LP Networks approach cyber security?
We take a layered approach. Cyber security is more than antivirus and a firewall. We combine monitoring, device and network protection, secure backups, email controls, patching, and user awareness to reduce risk across your business.
Can you help with GDPR and protecting customer data?
Yes. While we don’t provide legal advice, we can help you put practical security controls in place to reduce the risk of data loss or exposure. This includes access control, encryption where appropriate, secure backups, and protection against common attack methods.
What types of threats do you protect against?
We help reduce risk from common threats including phishing, malware, unauthorised access, credential theft, ransomware, and targeted attacks. Protection includes prevention, detection, and response planning.
Do you provide cyber security monitoring and threat detection?
Yes. We can monitor devices and key systems to identify suspicious activity early. This helps reduce the chance of threats going unnoticed and supports quicker response when something needs investigation.
How do you help reduce human error, like phishing clicks?
We support user awareness training and practical controls such as email filtering and multi-factor authentication. This reduces the likelihood of staff being tricked into giving away credentials or approving malicious requests.
Can cyber security be included as part of managed IT support?
Yes. Many businesses include cyber security as part of our Managed IT Service Provider packages, which combine support, monitoring, patching, backups, and security controls into one ongoing service.
