CYBER SECURITY, NORTHAMPTON
Cyber security will never cease to be a challenge for businesses. You should never assume that as an SME you are safe from the damage a cyber attack wreaks.
Securing your business data and systems must be your Northampton business' priority
GDPR breach = Reputational damage and loss of business
Lost data = Would you trust them with your data and business?
Locked out of systems = loss of revenue, trust, and production
Ransomware = causes reputational, and revenue issues.
If a companyou shopped with lost all your data, or had it stolen, you'd probably struggle to trust them again. It's your data. It's your financial details. The problem is, some people think SMEs are somehow immune to the attacks. Who would want to attack a local potato farm anyway? Well, they still hold data, and might not be able to afford the best cybersecurity. Don't worry though, we're on hand and can protect you.

Cyber Security Products and Services for Northampton
Ransomware
Imagine not having access to your data. And now imagine it is all because Wendy in accounts clicked a link in an email whilst looking at holidays.
Card details are no longer the primary focus. Hackers have realised that private and business data is currency. This is a high value ticket item that is worth a lot of money to the business. If they can't get access to this information, it is possible that a lot of things just stop.
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 Northampt
Hacking isn't just about large companies getting taken down by rogue socialists trying to end corruption. It's about people just making quick money by running nefarious schemes. Not all attacks have audacity to go after better protected large organisations. If they attacked your business in Northampton, 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 bad link to install a program on your PC. Do your staff know how to spot a phishing email?
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 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 release regular updates to fix bugs, patch security flaws, and close vulnerabilities because cybercriminals are constantly looking for ways in. But depending on your PC settings, these updates might not install immediately, or even at all. That delay leaves your systems exposed. In some cases, updates aren’t pushed out to every device at the same time, meaning parts of your network could be left behind and at risk.
Patch Management Software searches for relevant updates to the software and hardware in your PC and your routers and firewalls. It will then automatically download relevant updates for you.
Cyber Security Training in Northampton
We can give you the best tools available, but if your people aren’t cyber-aware, those tools won’t matter. We train your staff to understand the real-world impact of poor cybersecurity and give them the knowledge to recognise threats before they strike. Because when your team knows what to look for, your risk goes down — and your defences go up.
We can also refer you to companies that can help you to achieve 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
