Cyber Security
Cyber threats continue to grow over time and are constantly evolving as the hackers look for new ways to attack. Breaches can result in reputational, regulatory and financial consequences including data loss, inability to operate and potential fines. With so much at stake, every enterprise needs to take its cyber security very seriously and we’re here to help. Our first step is to audit your IT systems to identify specific vulnerabilities. Next we will propose appropriate solutions in areas such as anti-malware, anti-spam, network intrusion detection, data backup and implementation of ongoing processes and training. Shoal IT is Cyber Essentials certified itself and we can help you obtain this certification, ensuring adoption of UK government-backed cyber security best practices.
