Stay Safer with Cyber Defence

We help small business stay safe, stay online

On many occasions the true damage to IT systems is carried out from online threats. From data protection and system availability to reputation and revenue, modern cyber threats affect every part of an organisation.

As businesses become more digital and connected, attacks are becoming more frequent, more sophisticated and increasingly automated. Understanding this evolving landscape and responding to it effectively is essential for long term resilience.

This could be in the way of documents downloaded, passwords and IT networks. In 2013 a ransomware called CryptoLocker caused damage to IT systems which locked your out of your files unless you paid the ransom. CryptoLocker was still causing damage to computers and even servers in 2016. Then from 2017 we came across Wannacry and every few months a new threat emerges.

Cyber threats don’t just target computers they exploit people, processes and weaknesses across your entire IT environment.

Modern cyber defence is about more than antivirus software. It requires visibility, prevention and rapid response across devices, networks, cloud services, as well as users.

At Birak IT, we help businesses reduce risk by building cyber defence into everyday IT not bolting it on as an afterthought.

Case Study for Small Teams

Ismail is the Deputy CEO of a social enterprise business and helps individuals gain skills and get into paid work. He works with a team who collectively have a number of passwords to remember and often there would be a problem of who registered with which website and what details. It is time consuming finding out which email is used with a particular website before you can attempt resetting any password.

Passwords managers allow for 1 password access to your entire vault. With the help of a password manager and multifactor authentication, passwords can be complex without risking duplicate passwords. With solution from Birak IT, breached passwords are alerted to so this account in question can also be updated promptly.

Passwords are now managed in house and the team know what the website is, the email/username and the password. The best part is that no one needs to remember multiple passwords and none of the passwords are used on different systems. This means that the passwords are strong and complex so when there is a password breach from a large company in the US, they only change password and that's the end of it. Saving time and not hassling all the staff for help. Before you ask, there are no sticky notes in the office.

"The IT support Birak IT provide is exceptional."
