Mimecast

Our strategic email security supplier Mimecast specialises in cloud-based email security and archiving for Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Office 365. This not only includes security, archiving, and continuity services to protect business mail, but also assists your business with POPIA compliance.

Next-Generation Firewalls

The network perimeter security is protected by ‘Next-Generation’ Firewalls that feature Intrusion Prevention Systems and IP blacklists. These tools block unknown traffic and warn administrators of potential intruders trying to identify any shortcomings in security.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus

All Servers and endpoints are further protected by both Kaspersky Anti-Virus, Kaseya .exe blocking of known dangerous executables, plus Domain Group Policy that prevents the ‘unpacking’ of malicious executables in the background.

Acronis True Image

The servers are backed up using Acronis True Image. This copy is stored locally for fast restores, as well as taken offsite weekly for safekeeping in a fireproof facility. A further copy of the data is stored in an offline Linux-based vault within two Tier 1, PCI compliant datacentres.

What We Do

We’ve seen an increasing trend in cybercrimes, and according to the FBI, since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, cybercrimes have escalated by as much as 300%. The fastest-growing trends include; phishing, data theft and ransomware attacks. Our approach is to employ a multi-layered threat protection strategy, which means we ensure that every opening into the business is protected by at least two, but ideally, three or four layers of security.

Safeguard your computer

Our experience has further shown us that no single tool, or brand, is a guarantee to a protected eco-system. Each of these tools is simply part of a recipe that builds a robust eco-system. Also, much like a world-class meal, the secret lies in what products are added when and where in the process.
