Data Security

Data security means protecting data, such as a database, from destructive forces and from the unwanted actions of unauthorized users which could cause hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of damage and/or fraud.

We will help you to create a comprehensive security strategy using your own internal controls, and you can rely on us to do the same at network level.

We already scour your network for weaknesses and indeed prevent many DOS (denial of Service) attacks each and every week for or customers.

DoS ATTACKS AVERTED LAST MONTH

OF SMALL BUSINESSES HAD A SECURITY BREACH LAST YEAR

Combat Cyber-Crime with Synchronised Security from Excell

Malware attacks are constantly increasing in volume and complexity, leading to increased losses. Existing security point products work in isolation, unlike the coordinated attacks they need to stop, which often touch your firewall, email, endpoints, servers, and data. Organisations don’t have the time or resources to manage the complex cross-product correlation needed to identify and stop advanced threats.

Organisations believe they have a problematic shortage of cyber-security skills

Data breaches go undiscovered for more than 6 months

Reduction in threat response time with synchronized security

Synchronised security is a best-of-breed security system where integrated products share security information and automate response to threats.

Benefits of Synchronised Security include:
Faster, better protection against advanced threats
99.9% reduction in incident response time.
Slashes the admin burden on IT

How Synchronised Security works

When ransomware (or any other threat) is detected at the endpoint, it is blocked and the rest of the security system is altered to the attack.
The firewall then isolates the infected computer from the network, stopping the attack from spreading and preventing the ransomware from contacting its command and control server.
The encryption immediately revokes the encryption keys, stopping data falling into the wrong hands.
The malware is then removed and the system notified. The firewall can then restore network access, and the encryption keys can be returned.
It all happens automatically, in seconds. Keeping your business and data secure.

Our top tips for safeguarding your system

1. Change your password
“Fifty per cent of us have passwords that are made up of somebody’s name, and two or three digits. A cyber criminal could crack that in seconds. It’s better to pick three random words, like ‘elephant window spiral’, or a phrase, such as ‘I like working’, but then make it even stronger by changing some of the letters to numbers.”

2. Use lots of passwords
“Have tiers of them if you can. For example, ‘I l1ke w0rk1ng’ could be my top-level password, for my banking, but I could adapt that password and put extra letters or digits into it depending on what I’m using it for – for example, ‘I l1ke sh0pp1ng at N8xt.”

3. Store them securely
“There’s some great free software you can use. We use Lastpass, it’s a password vault and keeps all your passwords in one place, and you only need one master password to get into it.”

4. Train your staff…
“… or at least talk to them about cyber security. It really should be a priority for all small businesses.”

5. Be vigilant…
“…even when you’re not at your desk. On the train the other day we overheard a lawyer speaking on her phone about a case. Her phone kept cutting out so she kept reading out her number to the person on the other end of the line, then she took down their number and read it out loud. Right there, you’d have enough information to launch a social engineering attack.”
