Frequently asked Questions about cyber security

I have installed a security suite from a well known security vendor. Am I safe?

You are safer!  Any good security suite will protect you against known (and some unknown) viruses, including trojans and ransom-type attacks.  However, it cannot protect against all threats.
DSC always recommends a multi-pronged approach, which includes security software on the desktop, servers, and cloud-based systems; regular security audits or assessments, and any suggested follow-on remediation work; a “fit for purpose” firewall or other security device to protect your network perimeter; and perhaps  most important of all, regular security awareness training for your users to assist them in being able to detect ever more frequent and increasingly sophisticated phishing and other attacks.

How do I know if I have been subjected to a data breach?

DSC offers a service whereby we can search and see whether any of your domains or emails have been subject to a data breach, by way of compromised passwords or visited websites.  Additionally, we offer a full security audit, or a more tailed set of services such as penetration testing or data retention and compliance advisory options if you just want to assure yourself you are “safe” in one or two areas.

My firewall maintenance/warranty is due for renewal, and seems expensive. Should I renew?

Well, the answer is that you should definitely do something, but it may not just be a renewal.  If the hardware is getting a little old, you may find there are more cost effective solutions, with better features, that just simply renewing.  Give us a call, and we’ll be happy to discuss options.

I want to make sure I am secure. What should I do?

In the first instance, call us!  We have many years of expertise and putting together security solutions to minimise your risk, within your available budget.
