CYBER SECURITY, OXFORD
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.
Protecting your business data and systems in Oxford should be a top priority for your company.
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 business you trust lost or had your data compromised, rebuilding that trust would be difficult. After all, your personal and financial information is at stake. Many people mistakenly believe that small local businesses are unlikely targets. Who would bother attacking a small haberdashery, for example? Yet, these businesses still hold important data and often lack access to top-level cybersecurity. Rest assured, we’re here to safeguard you and your business at every turn.

Cyber Security Products and Services for Oxford
Ransomware
Imagine losing access to your data. Now consider that this happened because Bernard in HR opened an email attachment while browsing for a new car.
Card details are no longer the primary focus for hackers. They have realised that private and business information is far more valuable. This data is a high-value asset that can fetch a significant amount of money for criminals. Without access to it, many business processes could come to a standstill.
While it is sometimes possible to decrypt and restore most of the data without paying a ransom, the most reliable defence is maintaining an offline backup.
Hacking in Northamptonshire
Hacking isn’t just about large corporations being attacked by rogue groups aiming to fight corruption. More often, it involves individuals seeking quick profits through dishonest schemes. Many attackers do not have the means or boldness to target well-defended major organisations. If your business in Oxford were targeted, what information could they potentially access?
Phishing Emails
Phishing emails are growing more and more sophisticated. They can look extremely genuine, even copying the sender’s email address. These emails often encourage you to download an attachment or follow a harmful link that installs dangerous software on your PC. Are your staff able to spot phishing emails?
Antivirus Software
The internet can be a dangerous place. A reliable antivirus (AV) will protect you as you explore the darker parts of the web. It stops you from being harmed by corrupted websites or any page that tries to make you download unsafe software or files. Although some AV programs can slow down your computer, we make sure to choose one that has no noticeable impact on your system’s performance. Antivirus software keeps you safe from viruses, trojans, malware, and other harmful programs.
Spam Protection
Ninety-one percent of all cyber-attacks start with an email that looks completely harmless. Spam protection monitors these messages and thoroughly scans any attachments. It also keeps track of all incoming email traffic. The Advanced Threat Protection software we provide can detect hidden text inside images that might damage your PC.
Firewall & Routers
Routers supplied by internet providers do not always offer sufficient security to safeguard your business data. Their default passwords are frequently easy to breach. That is why we collaborate with you to set up your router and strengthen its security. We commonly install an additional firewall to provide extra protection.
Protecting You from Internal Threats
Cybersecurity isn’t only about monitoring external threats trying to breach your defences. Many dangers arise from within your own business. Unauthorised devices or peripherals connected to your system can pose risks and potentially compromise data. Keba offers tools and systems to protect your Oxford business. These solutions are simple to use and operate quietly in the background, giving you the confidence to focus on your work.

Patch Management
All operating systems and software regularly release updates to fix bugs, patch security weaknesses, and close vulnerabilities because cybercriminals are always looking for entry points. However, depending on your PC settings, these updates may not install immediately or might not install at all. This delay can leave your systems vulnerable. In some cases, updates are not distributed to every device simultaneously, which means some parts of your network could be left exposed.
Patch Management Software scans for applicable updates for the software and hardware on your PCs, routers, and firewalls. It then automatically downloads the necessary updates for you.
Cyber Security Training in Oxford
We can provide the best tools available, but if your staff are not cyber-aware, those tools will not make a difference. We train your team to understand the real-world consequences of poor cybersecurity and equip them with the knowledge to spot threats before they happen. When your people know what to watch for, your risk decreases and your defences improve.
We can also connect you with companies that assist in achieving Cyber Essentials Accreditation. This certification assures your customers that their data in your care 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
