CYBER SECURITY, WARWICK
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 Warwick 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.
Can you really trust a company once it has suffered a cyber attack? After all, they want to store your financial and personal information. If you run a small business, this question should concern you. You are not immune, and you may lack the resources to recover as quickly as a large multinational.

Cyber Security Products and Services for Warwick
Ransomware
Imagine losing access to all your important data just because you clicked a link in an email.
As credit card details and personal information became harder to steal, cybercriminals shifted their attention. Business data became their new target. Its value to the owner is hard to quantify, and stealing it is a powerful tactic. For the attacker, it is simply good business.
While it is sometimes possible to decrypt and recover most data without paying a ransom, the best defence remains maintaining an offline backup.
Hacking in Towcester
It’s a common misconception that only large corporations are at risk from hackers. You might wonder why anyone would bother targeting a small business in Warwick. The truth is, attackers don’t always aim for the biggest names. Smaller companies often present easier opportunities for cybercriminals. Consider this: if your Warwick-based business became a target, what sensitive data might be exposed?
Phishing Emails
Phishing emails are growing more advanced and can appear extremely convincing, sometimes even using the sender’s real email address. They usually prompt you to open an attachment or click on a link that installs malicious software on your device. Are your employees and colleagues equipped to spot these threats? What about you? It is well worth taking the time to check.
Antivirus Software
This provides protection while you browse the internet by blocking harmful websites and preventing unsafe downloads from reaching your computer.
Certain antivirus programs can slow down your PC, so we recommend solutions that deliver strong protection without affecting performance.
A reliable antivirus will scan your system for viruses, malware, trojans, and other malicious software, isolating or removing threats to keep your systems secure and operating smoothly.
Spam Protection
Approximately 91 percent of cyber attacks start with an email that looks innocent. Spam filters play a key role in defending against these threats by carefully checking attachments and overseeing incoming emails. Our Advanced Threat Protection software goes further by detecting hidden text embedded in images that could harm your computer.
Firewall & Routers
The standard routers supplied by internet service providers may not provide sufficient security to safeguard your customer and business data. Default passwords are often simple and vulnerable to attack. That is why we collaborate with you to configure your router and enhance its security. Additionally, we often install an extra perimeter firewall to offer further protection.
Protecting You from Internal Threats
Cybersecurity is not only about keeping external threats at bay. Often, the greatest dangers come from within your own network. Unauthorised devices or peripherals can quietly infiltrate your systems, creating vulnerabilities and exposing sensitive information, often without anyone being aware.
Keba offers a range of straightforward, effective tools that operate silently in the background to protect your business from internal risks. With Keba, you gain peace of mind and the freedom to concentrate on what you do best.

Patch Management
All operating systems and software regularly release updates to fix bugs, glitches, and security flaws. Software companies and hardware providers know that cyber criminals work hard to find and exploit weaknesses. Unfortunately, depending on your PC settings, these updates might not install immediately. If they are not installed automatically, your PCs can remain vulnerable. In some cases, updates are not distributed to all PCs at once.
Patch Management Software scans your PC, routers, and firewalls for necessary updates to the operating system, software, and hardware. It then automatically downloads the relevant updates for you.
Cyber Security Training in Warwick
We can supply all the software you need, but if your employees lack cyber awareness, it may not make a difference. We help your colleagues understand the consequences of weak cyber security and offer current training on recognising cyber threats. Enhancing knowledge and awareness of how to detect and prevent cyber attacks will lower 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
