CYBER SECURITY, RUSHDEN
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 Rushden 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.
It’s difficult to trust a company that has suffered a cyber attack. After all, your personal data is far too valuable to risk in that way. Being a small business does not mean you are immune. Thankfully, we can provide the right tools to help keep you protected.

Cyber Security Products and Services for Rushden
Ransomware
Imagine losing access to all your hard-earned data. Now imagine that it happened because you clicked a link in an email.
As credit card details and personal information became harder to obtain, cybercriminals shifted their focus. Business data became the new currency. Its value to the owner is almost impossible to measure. Denying access to this data is a powerful weapon. For the attacker, it’s simply good business.
Although it is sometimes possible to decrypt and recover most of the data without paying a ransom, the best defence remains maintaining an offline backup.
Hacking in Rushden
Many people believe that hacking only affects large companies and organisations. After all, why would anyone be interested in the data of a small business in Rushden? However, this is a risky assumption. Not all cyber-attacks target high-profile victims—sometimes smaller businesses are considered easier targets. If your business in Rushden was attacked, what information could they take?
Phishing Emails
Phishing emails are becoming increasingly sophisticated. They often look very genuine, even copying the sender’s email address. These emails typically ask you to download an attachment or click a suspicious link that installs harmful software on your computer. Are your employees and colleagues trained to recognise phishing emails? Are you? It’s worth taking the time to find out.
Antivirus Software
This keeps you safe while browsing the internet by blocking harmful websites and preventing unsafe downloads from reaching your computer.
Some antivirus software can slow your PC down, which is why we recommend solutions that provide strong protection without affecting performance.
A reliable antivirus will also scan your system for viruses, malware, trojans, and other malicious software, isolating or removing them to keep your systems secure and running smoothly.
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 provided by internet service providers don’t always offer enough security to protect your customer and business data. Their default passwords are often easy to breach. That’s why we work with you to configure your router and improve its security. In addition, we frequently install an extra perimeter firewall for added protection.
Protecting You from Internal Threats
Cybersecurity isn’t just about keeping the bad guys out. Sometimes, the biggest threats come from inside your own network. Unauthorised devices or peripherals can quietly slip into your systems, creating vulnerabilities and exposing sensitive data — often without anyone noticing.
Keba provides a suite of simple, effective tools that work silently in the background, guarding your business from within. With Keba, you gain quiet confidence — and the freedom to focus on what you do best.

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 Rushden
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
