BRISBANE CYBERSECURITY EXPERTS

Brisbane Cyber Security Solutions

The cyber security threat landscape changes everyday, bringing with it immense challenges for companies to overcome. Most business systems and processes are online these days, as well as your precious client data. That’s cyber gold for hackers and fraudsters, and needs to be protected at all costs. 

Protecting it takes time and resources though. You have to be on the ball, agile and constantly monitoring your cyber security situation. On top of that, you need to ensure your team is educated in best practices when it comes to cyber security. They need to understand the risks, recognise the threats and be engaged with helping to protect your business. 

You’re busy and you want to focus on growing your business, so managing your information security is not something you have capacity for. The key is in outsourcing it to the dedicated cyber security specialists in Brisbane, Smile IT.

We’re here to manage your cyber risk, keep your information safe and help protect your reputation. We’ve got trained cyber industry experts who’ll take care of your security so you can feel confident to focus on your business. Here are some of the benefits of turning to Smile to take care of your cyber security:

24/7 Managed Security Services

We monitor your IT systems for risks all day, every day. Thanks to your advanced cyber security threat detection systems we can establish if malware has entered your system, which emails are suspicious, and what downloads could be harmful. 

Remote Work Ready

With a large portion of our workforce operating out of home offices, it’s even harder to keep on top of our cyber security. Smile IT can help ensure the move to remote work is seamless and secure, keeping your business information safe and advising your staff of best practice. 

Cyber Security Training

Many hacks and breaches of a company occur because of human error. You need an engaged team who are aware of the threats posed by cyber security, who actively work towards minimising them.  

Cyber Security Audits

If you’re worried that your cyber defences aren’t enough for the modern digital landscape, we can perform a cyber security audit for your company. In it, amongst other things, we’ll check your malware defences, your email and browser defences and your network and devices security configurations. 

Perimeter Security

Most networks have a secure boundary defending it known as a firewall. This keeps out unwanted, potentially dangerous traffic and intruders. A 24/7 firewall acts as a first line of defence against malicious cyber security actors. 

Compliance

There are laws and regulations around keeping your clients data and information secure. Smile IT will ensure you’re on the right side of the law and fully compliant with all governing bodies. 

Disaster Recovery 

In the event of a cyber attack or breach, it’s essential to have processes in place that allow your business to return to normal operations as soon as possible. Your data should be backed up onsite as well as in the cloud, to ensure no matter how catastrophic the breach, you’ll always have a copy. 

Two Factor Authentication (2FA)

This is an important additional method of fortifying your password security. When you log into an account, as well as inputting your password you have to pass through an additional layer of security. This could be a text message, an email or a code from an authenticator app.

The Cyber Risks of Remote Work 

The COVID pandemic forced a rather fast transition for most companies to begin working from home. The focus turned onto serving customers through digital channels, which in turn created a massive demand for digital services and software. 

Managed Service Providers and IT companies had to facilitate this movement to remote work, whilst also accommodating the extra security vulnerabilities it created. Devices had to be secured, staff had to be educated and gaps in networks had to be plugged. Computers were patched, mobile software updates, VPN’s installed and initiated. 

New risks had to be navigated, such as the relaxing of some procedures and standards simply to maintain ongoing operations. This required agility from companies, many who weren’t sufficiently cyber savvy to navigate the changing environment. 

That’s where Smile IT came in. We helped many clients of all different sizes transition to working from home safely and securely. We can assess and audit your remote work IT requirements, verify the technology capacity required and then ensure the safety of that technology and your communication channels. 

We’re agile, on-the-ball and proven to be able to adapt to the changing environment. For unparalleled security specialist services, get in touch today.
