Anti-Spam is software that aims to detect and block potentially dangerous email from user inboxes. Anti-Spam secures your email with email filtering protocols which determine what is an unsolicited and unwanted message (spam). In many cases spam can be a product which may be legitimate (though still unwanted) or malicious. Most attacks originate in your email and we will provide a service designed to reduce spam and your exposure to attacks on your employees.
Protect your computers data from malware, viruses, and cyberattacks with advanced endpoint security. Today’s latest technology (which replaces outdated antivirus solutions) protects against fileless and script-based threats and can even rollback ransomware attacks. This is achieved by leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning, behavioral detection, exploit mitigation, cloud-based architecture, and other cutting-edge technologies to stop both legacy and 'never before seen' threats that may evolve quickly to circumvent cybersecurity measures.
Access control is a security measure which is put in place to regulate the individuals that can view, use, or have access in a restricted environment. There are three types of access control. 1) Discretionary Access Control (DAC), 2) Role based Access Control (RBAC) 3) Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC).
We provide Multi-Factor Authentication to add an additional layer of protection to ensure that even if your password gets stolen, your data stays protected and prevents compromised credentials from being used in an attack.

We provide guidance needed for security concerns which will be researched and answered for your organisation. We are also a partner with the Australian Cyber Security Centre, (ASIC) Department of Defence and are therefore provided up to date information on Cybersecurity activity within Australia allowing us to be proactive in mitigating the risk for our clients.
Zero Trust security is an IT security model that requires strict identity verification for every person and device trying to access resources on a private network, regardless of whether they are sitting within or outside of the network perimeter. Web Gateway Security - Internet security is a race against time. Cloud-based security detects web and email threats as they emerge on the internet and blocks them on your network within seconds- before they reach the user.
Advanced Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) also referred to as endpoint detection and threat response (EDTR) is an endpoint security solution that continuously monitors end-user devices to detect and respond to cyber threats like ransomware and malware. EDR records and stores endpoint-system-level behaviours using various data analytics to detect suspicious system behaviour and provide contextual information, block malicious activity, and provides remediation to restore affected systems.

What we do
COMPLIANCE AUDIT
A compliance audit is often the result of an organization having to comply with a standard such as Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) or the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS), but they can also be done against other published frameworks. These audits can be completed or facilitated by outside auditors or completed as a part of a larger continuous improvement program
SECURITY ASSESSMENTS
Security assessments are periodic exercises that tests the organization’s security preparedness, including checks for vulnerabilities in the IT systems and business processes, as well as recommending steps to lower the risk of future attacks. Further, security assessments are useful for keeping your systems and policies up to date. Your security assessment should include two components, the Security review, which is a collaborative process that includes identifying security issues and their level of risk, as well as preparing a plan to mitigate these risks; and Security testing, which is the process of finding vulnerabilities in software applications or processes.
VULNERABILITY TESTING
A vulnerability scan tests a network or system against a set of known vulnerabilities, usually from unpatched software, misconfigured settings, or system defects. Testers utilize tools such as OpenVAS or Nessus to identify known vulnerabilities in systems, which allow an organization to view their level of risk and threats and prioritize them for remediation if desired.
PENETRATION TESTING
Penetration tests focus on one or several targets, such as internal network infrastructure, web applications, facilities, and wireless configurations with the goal of obtaining access within an organization’s physical or electronic perimeter. Operating within the authorization of an organization’s management, the penetration testers, or white hat hackers, probe for vulnerabilities using open and closed source tools and a range of virtual and social engineering- based attacks to find them before black hat hackers do.
FAQ
I’M A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER. AM I REALLY A TARGET?
Types of threats: Disgruntled employees, competition, social engineering, business email compromise.
Most likely you’ll be swept up in a volume based attack. To the threat actor, it’s just a number’s game. They know that some people will click a link, or send money to a bogus bank account,etc. So while you may not be targeted explicitly,you’re very much at risk. Small businesses are the victims of the majority of today’s attacks (64%) and that’s because they are under-protected.
I ALREADY HAVE A FIREWALL, ANTI-VIRUS, AND A BACKUP SOLUTION. DO I REALLY NEED MORE?
Last year, that set of solutions likely gave you very solid security. But today, the majority of cyber attacks are sophisticated enough to bypass a business’s basic security precautions. What worked yesterday will not be enough to protect against today’s threats. Security needs to improve both proactively and reactively to maintain the same standard you’ve come to expect. And of course, it’s much more budget friendly to solve this issue before it happens, especially knowing that the average breach costs a small business $53,970.
WHY WOULD A CRIMINAL WANT MY DATA? IT’S NOT THAT VALUABLE.
First, data is often more valuable than you realize, when sold on the dark web. Would your #1 competitor pays $10,000 for your business plans, acquisition plans, or marketing strategy? Would someone pay for your usernames and passwords, so they can log into your networking without your knowledge? Quite possibly.
But in the case of ransomware the criminal doesn’t want your data. But he knows that YOU value your data and will pay to get it back if he encrypts it. That’s why our solution comes with ransomware protection and a warranty.
How can our organisation ensure the confidentiality of sensitive client or patient information?
We recommend you Implement robust access controls, encrypt sensitive data, conduct regular security training for employees, and employ advanced threat detection solutions to monitor and protect against unauthorised access.
What measures should we take to comply with industry-specific regulations and standards, such as the Privacy Act for medical practices or legal confidentiality requirements?
Conduct a thorough risk assessment, implement security policies and procedures, regularly audit and monitor compliance, and consider hiring a compliance officer to ensure adherence to specific regulations.
How can we protect against ransomware attacks and ensure business continuity in case of a cyber incident?
Implement a multi-layered defense strategy including robust antivirus software, regular data backups, employee training on phishing awareness, and a well-defined incident response plan with offsite backups for rapid recovery.
What employee training programs are recommended to enhance cybersecurity awareness within our organisation?
Regularly conduct phishing awareness training, provide education on password best practices, and ensure employees are aware of the latest cybersecurity threats and how to report them promptly.
What is the role of encryption in safeguarding sensitive data, and how can it be implemented effectively within our organisation?
Encryption plays a vital role in protecting data in transit and at rest. Implement end-to-end encryption for communication channels, use encryption protocols for data storage, and ensure encryption keys are securely managed.
How do we establish a robust incident response plan, and what steps should be taken in the event of a cyber attack?
Develop a detailed incident response plan outlining roles and responsibilities, conduct regular tabletop exercises to test the plan, and establish communication protocols. In the event of an attack, follow the plan, isolate affected systems, and engage with law enforcement if necessary.
What technologies or tools are recommended for securing communication and collaboration platforms, especially when working remotely?
Implement secure communication tools with end-to-end encryption, use Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) for remote access, enforce strong authentication methods, and regularly update and patch collaboration software to address vulnerabilities.
How can we ensure that third-party vendors and service providers adhere to our cybersecurity standards and do not pose a risk to our organisation?
Perform thorough due diligence when selecting vendors, include cybersecurity requirements in contracts, conduct regular security assessments of third parties, and establish clear communication channels for reporting and addressing security concerns.
What are the key considerations in implementing a secure and compliant BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy?
Implement strong authentication for device access, enforce encryption on devices, establish a clear BYOD policy outlining acceptable use and security requirements, and regularly update devices with the latest security patches.
How often should our organisation conduct cybersecurity assessments and audits, and what areas should be prioritised during these evaluations?
Conduct regular cybersecurity assessments at least annually, prioritize vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and compliance audits. Focus on areas such as network security, application security, and employee training effectiveness. Regularly update security measures based on assessment findings.
