CYBER SECURITY

Complete cyber security services for small to medium-sized businesses

When it comes to cyber security, it's easy for small businesses to say, “I'm not really worried about it ... they're only after the big guys.” The reality is that attacks on all networks have been increasing year after year as hackers have become more sophisticated, and these businesses are at risk every second of every day due to lax security policies.

It was estimated in 2014 that some 50% of small and medium-sized businesses have experienced a security breach, and 60% of those victims end up going out of business . And with the ever-increasing advances in attackers' tools and techniques, each day brings a new threat.

There are a number of ways HCS Technical Services helps to ensure that you are at minimum risk:

Updates
Keeping computers and network equipment updated is one of the most effective steps to preventing a possible cyber security issue.
Firewall
A common mistake in small to medium business networks is the lack of a business grade firewall solution. Often times, business owners are unaware of the difference between having a network router and having a network firewall in place.
Passwords
Passwords and password protection are an area that needs attention when discussing cyber security. Using sophisticated software and tools, hackers are easily gaining access to small business networks through simple or default passwords.
Antivirus/Antispam
Most people know that antivirus and antispam software are necessary components of cyber security, but many people don’t realize why they are so important until their computer or network is infected with a virus, malware, spyware, and other potentially dangerous software.

No matter the size of your business, cyber security is a definite requirement for every business in the digital age. If you are worried or unsure of where to start with an internal security audit, our team can help get you on track.

DARK WEB MONITORING

Detect Compromised Credentials Used to Exploit Employees and Customers

To help keep your critical business assets safe from the compromises that lead to breach and theft, we offer a complimentary scan.

Our Dark Web ID Credential Monitoring detects compromised credentials in real-time on the Dark Web and notifies you immediately when these critical assets are compromised, before they can be used for identity theft, data breaches, or other crimes. Digital credentials such as usernames and passwords connect you and your employees to critical business applications, as well as online services. Unfortunately, criminals know this — and that’s why digital credentials are among the most valuable assets found on the Dark Web.

Far too often, companies that have had their credentials compromised and sold on the Dark Web aren't aware until they have been informed by law enforcement — but by then, it’s too late. According to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), small and medium-sized businesses may have more to lose than larger organizations, because cyber security events can be costly enough to threaten their survival.

Cyber security doesn’t have to be too overwhelming, expensive or complicated. The first step to protecting your business is understanding your risk.
