Cyber Security

Protecting data, detecting threats and ensuring resilience

At Zuri we believe in crafting bespoke strategies that compliment diverse organisations of all shapes and sizes. We recognise that cyber security spans all aspects of IT, however not all aspects of IT apply to all businesses.  There is not a ‘one size fits all’ solution to cyber security, off the shelf solutions are rarely a perfect fit.

These are a few of our areas of expertise, but to find out how Zuri can meet the unique requirements of your organisation, please get in touch to arrange a no obligation consultation with one of our experts.

With an increasingly distributed workforce, securing user operated devices, or endpoints, like computers, laptops, smartphones, and tablets, from cyber threats has become much more difficult. For many years anti-virus has been the go-to technical solution for protecting endpoints.  However, in today’s heightened state of cyber risk, whilst anti-virus remains a core component of an Endpoint Protection strategy, it is no longer enough.

Organisations should adopt a ‘defence in depth’ approach and utilise an Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) solution in place of a traditional anti-virus solution, which when combined with staff awareness training, intrusion detection systems and patch management, ensure a layered defence with the capabilities to detect and neutralize threats before they can infiltrate a network

The corporate network is the backbone of IT operations and is responsible for ensuring the safe transit of data between organization’s interconnected systems. To create a secure environment, it is essential to manage all aspects of the network.

By deploying and managing tools, such as intrusion detection and prevention systems, virtual private networks (VPNs), secure Wi-Fi protocols, application control and ongoing monitoring; organisations can gain full control over their network.

Introducing capabilities to detect and prevent unauthorised actions on the network, not only safeguard your business from unwanted consequences, but also provide the business intelligence required to fortify organisational defences against the increasing sophistication of new and emerging cyber-attacks.

The cyber security threat landscape is constantly evolving. As fast as software and hardware manufacturers provide updates to mitigate discovered issues in software, threat actors discover new ways to exploit undiscovered vulnerabilities within the same systems.

Establishing a vulnerability management strategy puts organisations ahead of the curve and reduces risk by eliminating vulnerabilities within an environment before they can be exploited by an opportunist threat actor.

By swiftly and systematically deploying application and firmware updates for all software and hardware (including servers, network and storage appliances) and proactively scanning internally and externally for other weaknesses, organisations can significantly reduce the potential impact (and therefore cost) that a breach could have.

When an organisation experiences a major outage or incident, the primary business objective is always to return to operational capacity as quickly as possible. But in the absence of an established process, businesses face many questions which are rarely asked in the right order, sometime if at all.

All too often an expedited recovery effort can mean that crucial steps to collate critical information required later in the recovery process are irreversibly destroyed. This means that difficult questions from clients, authorities, regulatory bodies, and business service providers such as insurance companies cannot be answered, and each obstacle has the potential to significantly increase the overall cost of the incident, financially and reputationally.

Establishing an incident response process enables the right people to focus on handling essential activities at the appropriate times and creates a much leaner approach to incident management and more efficient return to operational capacity with a reduced fiscal impact.

The Cyber Essentials framework is a government-backed and internationally recognized program designed to help businesses of all sizes protect themselves against common cyber threats.

Whether just beginning your cyber security journey or if you already has a comprehensive strategy in place, Cyber Essentials Plus certification holds substantial significance.

By aligning with industry best practises, organisations that achieve certification not only reduce risk through improved cyber security posture, but also demonstrate a strong commitment to cyber diligence and safeguarding their businesses, client’s and customers interests.
