CYBER SECURITY, NORTHAMPTONSHIRE
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 Northamptonshire business data and systems must be your 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 company you shop with lost or had your data stolen, it would be hard to trust them again. After all, it is your personal information and your financial details. The problem is that many people assume small businesses are safe from attacks. Who would want to target a local potato farm anyway? However, they still hold valuable data and often cannot afford the best cybersecurity. Don’t worry though, we are here to protect you and your business every step of the way.

Cyber Security Products and Services for Northamptonshire
Ransomware
IImagine not having access to your data. Now picture this happening because Wendy in accounts clicked a link in an email while checking holiday plans.
Card details are no longer the main target. Hackers have discovered that private and business data hold far greater value. This information is a high-value asset that can be worth a lot of money to criminals. If they cannot access it, many business operations could come to a halt.
Although it is sometimes possible to decrypt and recover most of the data without paying a ransom, the best protection is having an offline backup.
Hacking in Northamptonshire
Hacking isn’t only about big companies being targeted by rogue groups trying to fight corruption. Often, it’s simply people trying to make quick money through shady schemes. Many attackers lack the resources or daring to go after well-protected large organisations. If someone targeted your business in Northamptonshire, what information could they get their hands on?
Phishing Emails
Phishing emails are becoming increasingly sophisticated. They can appear very legitimate, even mimicking the sender’s email address. These messages often ask you to download an attachment or click a malicious link that installs harmful software on your PC. Are your staff trained to recognise phishing emails?
Antivirus Software
The internet can be a risky place. A good antivirus (AV) will protect you while you navigate the dark corners of the world wide web. It prevents harm from corrupted websites or any page that tries to get you to download unsafe programs or files. While some AV solutions can slow your computer down, we ensure we select one that does not noticeably affect your speed. Antivirus programs keep you safe from viruses, trojans, malware, and other malicious software.
Spam Protection
Ninety-one percent of all cyber-attacks begin with an email that looks completely harmless. Spam protection keeps an eye on these messages and thoroughly scans any attachments. It also monitors all incoming email traffic. The Advanced Threat Protection software we provide can even detect hidden text inside images that might damage your PC.
Firewall & Routers
Standard routers provided by internet service providers are not always secure enough to protect your customer and business data. Their default passwords are often easy to hack as well. That is why we work with you to configure your router and improve its security. We often install an extra firewall for added protection.
Protecting You from Internal Threats
Cybersecurity is not just about watching who is outside trying to break down your walls. Many risks come from within your own business. Unauthorised devices or peripherals connected to your system can be dangerous and may compromise data. Keba provides tools and systems to protect you. They are easy to use and run quietly in the background, giving you the confidence to carry on with your work.

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 Northamptonshire
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
