Vulnerability scanning is an essential cyber-security service, it helps the BIAS IT support team to identify potential security weaknesses in your IT systems, computer networks and applications (e.g. data bases).
The BIAS IT cyber security service (offered with the Corporate IT support subscription) uses extremely specialised software tools to routinely scan your business computer systems and networks for known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and other security issues.
Upon identifying a cyber security vulnerability, the BIAS IT support team will proceed to report the issue and set about fixing the problem before attackers can exploit the weakness.
Penetration testing, often referred to as 'pen testing' is a proactive cyber security process which is offered to clients as a BIAS IT cyber security consultancy service. In essence, the process of ‘penetration testing’ can be seen as an authorised hack that simulates real-world attacks on your computer systems, networks, and even certain applications.
The principle behind simulating a cyber-attack is to identify and exploit weaknesses that may have been missed in the vulnerability scanning process.
The BIAS IT penetration testing service doesn’t just include uncovering weaknesses it also aims to resolve vulnerabilities before malicious hackers can do any damage to your business.
The BIAS IT support team recommend you use at least two authentication factors to login to your system, application, or account, especially when away from your regular working environment. With that said, if you are accessing a computer in your normal working environment the BIAS IT cyber security team can configure your login system to recognise your IP address and remove the need for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
It’s easy enough for a user to login using MFA software, typically all you need is something you know (like a password), something you have (like a smartphone or security token) or even something you are (like a fingerprint or facial recognition). For help with MFA systems please contact the BIAS IT cyber security team today.
Membership to the BIAS IT support ‘Executive Plus & Corporate’ subscriptions includes video based ‘Cyber Security Awareness Training’. Externally of the BIAS IT support subscriptions, the BIAS IT cyber security team also offer a classroom based cyber security awareness course designed to help educate and inform your employees about the risks of cyber threats and the importance of security practices. The BIAS IT cyber security awareness course covers topics such as recognizing phishing attempts, using strong and unique passwords, identifying social engineering tactics, and understanding the importance of data protection. By raising awareness and promoting best practices, the BIAS IT cyber security awareness training empowers employees to act as the first line of defence against cyberattacks.
The BIAS IT cyber security team are available to help design, develop and in the event of a cyber-attack orchestrate your business’s ‘Cyber Security Incident Response Plan’. Planning for a cyber-attack is an absolutely essential process for any modern business, failing to create a Cyber Security Incident Response Plan can result in your business being held to ransom by cyber-criminals. A well-planned cyber security incident response will mean your business has a structured approach for identifying, managing, and mitigating the impact of cybersecurity incidents, such as data breaches or malware attacks, thereby providing reliable business continuity. For more information about protecting your business from being held to ransom by cyber criminals please contact the BIAS IT cyber security team today.
The term ‘endpoint cyber protection’ is used to describe a business’s digital security strategy for the safeguarding of individual business devices, such as laptops, smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers. As these devices are connected to the business’s computer network they can serve as entry points for cyber criminals to encrypt your data or spread malicious malware. Therefore, reliable endpoint cyber protection is a “must” for any business needing a robust cyber security solution.
Our IT cyber security team protect all BIAS IT support subscribers with advanced anti-virus software. This means your business’s individual devices (such as computers, smartphones and tablets) are all protected with the most advanced Xcitium 'zero-trust' cyber-security platforms.
The phrase ‘Access Management’ refers to the BIAS IT support team ensuring that your employees have the appropriate access level to resources within your organisation. By having the access controls of your IT systems managed, you ultimately reduce the risk of unauthorised users compromising your IT infrastructure.
As a BIAS IT support member your business benefits from FREE ticketed help that not only records the creation of user accounts but also documents the setting of staff access levels. Furthermore, the BIAS IT support team are always on-hand to instantly remove the access rights of staff who have left your employment or been suspended.
A simulated phishing campaign is a cyber-security exercise performed by the BIAS IT cyber security team to intentionally send fake phishing emails to your employees. The idea being to test and evaluate your staff’s awareness and response to phishing attacks.
These simulations mimic real-world phishing tactics designed to trick employees into making false payments, or click on malicious links, or send a hacker sensitive information, or download harmful attachments. The results from these fake phishing campaigns help the BIAS IT cyber security team to identify vulnerabilities, however more importantly they also make your employees more aware to actual real phishing threats.
A ransomware attack is a type of cyberattack in which malicious ransomware infiltrates your business’s computer system and encrypts your data, rendering it inaccessible. Usually, the cyber attacker demands a ransom payment, in exchange for the decryption key needed to restore access to your data.
BIAS IT support members enjoy multi-locational data backup services, making it easier to counter a ransomware attack by empowering the BIAS IT cyber security experts with the ability to restore your business’s data to a point before it was encrypted.
