CYBER SECURITY, BICESTER
Cyber security will always be a significant challenge for businesses. You should not assume that as an SME you are safe from reputation damaging cyber attacks.
Securing your business data and systems should be your Bicester business' priority for numerous reasons
GDPR breach = Loss of business and reputation
Lost data = garners distrust and loses business
Locked out of systems = loss of revenue and production
Ransomware = causes accesibility, reputational, and revenue issues.
Once you have fallen prey to a cyber-attack, people find it difficult to trust you with their data going forward. And just because you're a small business, it doesn't mean you're immune. There are real world examples proving that nobody is safe. However, we can provide you with the right tools to protect yourself.

Ransomware
Imagine not having access to your hard earned data. And now imagine it is all because you clicked a link in an email.
The black market focus shifted from credit card details and private data when the aforementioned targets dried up. But cyber-attackers began to go after business data. This, after all, was the new currency. The value this data has to it's owner is barely quantifiable. Denying access to this information is incredibly valuable to the owner, and for the cyber-numpty, it's just good business.
While it is sometimes possible to decrypt and rescue most of the data without paying the ransom, the best form of defence is an off line backup.
Hacking in Bicester
Most people believe that hacking is an issue only relevant to large businesses and organisations. After all, why would anyone be interested in the data of a small Bicester-based business? This isn't the case, however. Not all attacks are as audacious as to go after better protected large organisations. They might find a smaller business to be an a more reasonable target. If they attacked your business in Bicester, what information could they get away with?
Phishing Emails
Phishing emails are getting more and more sophistaicated. They look supremely legitimate, even down to the email address of the sender. Such emails ask you to download an attachment or follow a dodgy link which installs a program on your PC. Do your employees and colleagues know how to spot a phishing email? Do you know? It's worth evaluating.
Antivirus Software
The internet is an infectious place. A good Antivirus (AV) will protect you whilst you are surfing the dark waves of the world wide web. It will stop you being harmed by corrupted websites, or any page that wants to you to download unsafe programs or material. And, whilst there are AV solutions that will slow your computer down, we will make sure that we choose an AV program that has no discernible detrimental effect on your speed. AV programs make sure you are safe from viruses, trojans, malware, and other malicious programs.
Spam Protection
91% of all cyber-attacks start with an innocuous looking email. Spam protection monitors this and scans any related attachments thoroughly. It also checks any incoming email traffic. The Advanced Threat Protection software that we offer can even detect hidden text within images that could harm your PC.
Firewall & Routers
Standard routers that are supplied by Internet Providers are not always secure enough to protect your customer and business data. Their standard passwords are often easy to hack too. That's why we work with you to configure your router and increase its security. Moreover, we often install a further perimieter firewall for additional protection.
Protecting You from Internal Threats
Cybersecurity isn't just about watching who is outside trying to break down your walls. There are a lot of opportunities within your own business that can cause problems. Unauthorised machines or peripherals introduced into your system can be dangerous and data can be compromised through them. Keba provide a range of tools and systems to protect you. They are simple to use and keep running in the background giving you the confidence you need to continue.

Patch Management
All operating systems and software regularly produce updates for bugs, glitches, and security issues. So do software companies and hardware providers knowing that cyber rascals work hard on exposing and creating weaknesses. Unfortunately, and sometimes depending on your PC settings, these updates may not be installed straight away. If they are not auto-installed your PCs can be left vulnerable. In some instances, these updates are not rolled out to all PCs at the same time.
Patch Management Software searches for relevant updates to the OS, software and hardware within your PC and your routers and firewalls. It will then automatically download relevant updates for you.
Cyber Security Training in Bicester
We can provide you with all the software in the world, but if your employees aren't cyber-savvy it could all be meaningless. We help your colleagues understand the implications of poor cyber security and we provide up-to-date training on how to spot a cyber threat. Improving knowledge and being aware of how cyber attacks can be detected and stopped, will reduce the risk.
We can also refer you to companies that can help you to achieve the Government’s Cyber Essentials Accreditation, which gives your customers the peace of mind that their data held by you is safe and secure.

Keba Computers – we put the IT in Quality.
A very big thank you for the excellent service you provided with regard to my laptop. I asked for your assistance initially to set up a simple back up system which you did with great efficiency and very little interruption to my working day – both of which are very important to me. You quickly grasped what I needed and then just got on with it. Then I needed your urgent assistance when there was an accident with my laptop screen which cracked. You arranged for the replacement screen, took my laptop in and had it returned to me within 2 days – an extremely fast service. Not only were you fast and efficient as always you offered an extremely personal service with delivery back to my office. You even followed up a few days later to ensure that all was working well with said laptop. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you to my clients to offer support within their IT and thank you again for a wonderfully professional service. With regards Yours sincerely - Kate Taylor Huntingdale Consultancy
