Managed Cyber Security for Your Business

As cyber attacks become increasingly sophisticated, businesses must adopt comprehensive security measures to protect their data and keep the smooth operation of their businesses. This is where managed cyber security comes in.

Managed cyber security is a cost-effective and efficient solution that gives businesses the expertise and resources they need to protect themselves.

This blog explains the many benefits of managed cyber security, goes through what it entails, and highlights why Ashdown Solutions is your ideal partner for cyber security managed services.

The Need for Managed Cyber Security

Cyber attacks are a growing threat to businesses of all sizes. From data breaches to ransomware attacks, the outcome of poor cyber security can be devastating.

Managed cyber security services offer a proactive approach to threat detection and mitigation, ensuring that your business is protected around the clock.

At Ashdown Solutions, we provide a wide range of managed cyber security services designed to meet the unique needs of your business. Our security solutions include threat intelligence, real-time monitoring, and advanced threat detection.

By using our services, businesses can enhance their security and minimise the risk of cyber incidents.

Key Benefits of Managed Cyber Security Services

Proactive Threat Detection and Response

Managed cyber security services deliver real-time threat detection and response, ensuring that potential threats are identified and acted on before they can cause harm.

Our security team at Ashdown Solutions continuously monitors your systems, using advanced threat intelligence to stay ahead of new threats. This proactive approach is crucial for making sure your business isn’t hit by downtime.

Cost-Effective Security Solutions

Implementing and maintaining an in-house cyber security team can be costly and resource-intensive.

Managed cyber security services are a more cost-effective option, providing access to expert security professionals and advanced security technologies without the need for an entire in-house team. This allows businesses to allocate their resources more efficiently while still having solid security measures.

Enhanced Business Continuity

Keeping your business operation is a, if not the, top priority for any organisation. Managed cyber security services help ensure that your operations remain uninterrupted by preventing and quickly responding to security incidents.

By implementing a comprehensive security strategy, businesses can reduce downtime and increase productivity, even in the face of cyber threats.

Comprehensive Risk Management

Effective risk management is essential for protecting your business from cyber threats. Our managed cyber security services include detailed risk assessments and tailored security strategies designed to address your business’ weak points.

By identifying and mitigating potential risks, we help you build up your business’ cyber security.

Core Components of Managed Cyber Security

Threat Intelligence and Threat Hunting

Traditional antivirus solutions will use knowledge of existing threats and storage scans to protect you. While this isn’t entirely ineffectual, it leaves your business wide open to new threats that the antivirus software hasn’t yet encountered.

This is where Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) comes into play. Our technologies will actively monitor your storage for suspicious activity, rather than just known threats. For example, if it detects software suddenly opening files across your device en-masse, it will block the software and alert both the user and the managed cyber security provider.

This is just one way in which we at Ashdown Solutions keep your business’ systems safe.

Real-Time Monitoring and Incident Response

Continuous monitoring of your IT infrastructure is essential for early detection of security incidents. Our managed cyber security services include real-time monitoring of your systems, allowing us to identify and respond to threats as they occur.

This is in contrast to traditional antivirus software, which is reliant on manual or scheduled scans, which can only detect threats during those intervals rather than as they happen.

In the event of a security breach, our incident response team is on hand to contain and remediate the threat, minimising its impact on your business.
