Protect your business from cyberattacks with Pro-Networks' robust technology, compliance, and training solutions.
Cyber Security Services
In the realm of cybercrime, it's essential to understand that the majority of victims aren't specifically targeted. Cybercriminals don't meticulously select their victims; rather, individuals and businesses often make themselves vulnerable through lax cybersecurity practices. Much like a thief targeting an unlocked car, cyberattacks frequently begin as opportunistic "smash and grab" incidents rather than meticulously planned heists.
These attacks typically exploit vulnerabilities stemming from inadequate cyber hygiene, such as poorly configured routers, outdated operating systems, or, more commonly, human error. One mistake gives the cybercriminals with entry point they need to infiltrate your network and compromise your data. Once they've gained access, attackers utilise readily available tools from the internet to exploit vulnerabilities and bypass security measures.
To fortify your defences against such threats, it's crucial to address the three pillars of cybersecurity: technology, compliance, and training. We offer comprehensive assistance in all these areas, ensuring that your cybersecurity posture is robust and resilient.
Pro-Networks are here to help.

Penetration Testing / Vulnerability Testing
-
PCI-DSS / ISO 27001

Outsourced DPO duties
For policies to be embraced by staff, they require introduction in a controlled and educated fashion. We can guide you through accreditation and train your staff in the procedures.
Cyber Security Training
The importance of staff training cannot be overstated. Careless or uninformed staff inadvertently facilitate nearly 60% of cyber attacks. Can your staff recognise and avoid threats?

GDPR Responsibilities
Over one-third of cyber attacks have a phishing or social engineering element. We can empower your staff with the knowledge to keep your systems and data secure.
A Multi Layered Approach
Anti-virus and anti-malware are vital, but they cannot provide 360° protection from all types of cyber threat. They must be viewed as one element in a robust, multi-layered approach to cyber security that encompasses technology, compliance to standards, and staff training.
Your Cyber Security Toolkit
Your countermeasures must be applicable, effective and appropriate to your business, your budget and your level of risk. The continuity of your business might well depend on these countermeasures, so they must be selected in an informed and educated fashion.
We have skilled and experienced cyber security experts who will talk to you in plain English about the different active threats and what we can do for you so that you remain safe, operational and as impregnable as possible.
Achieving Optimum Cyber Security
We can assess your defences and advise on products, services and solutions to address any shortfalls. We can identify standards and regulations you should (or must) adopt, such as GDPR and Cyber Essentials, and we will work with you to obtain accreditation to those standards. Vitally, we will train your staff on adhering to those standards, to recognise cyber threats and to work in a cyber security conscious fashion.
