Cyber Security Services
At Hilltop Systems, cyber security isn’t something we reluctantly do when you ask us to, it’s built into every decision we make and every solution we implement. We don’t just set and forget it either, our team are constantly reviewing, testing, and implementing the latest guidelines from multiple globally recognised organisations dedicated to securing IT systems and data.
Workstation
The workstation, usually just called the computer, is the primary way most employees interact with company data. Because of this, computers are an essential component to protect against cyber threats including Malware, Vulnerable Software, and weak security policies. We protect these critical devices by implementing best in class Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR), actively remediating vulnerable software, and implementing centrally managed best practice security policies.
Email and Collaboration
Email and other similar collaboration tools like Teams and OneDrive are excellent methods for communicating internally and externally, but they also introduce methods for attackers to deliver malware and social engineering attacks. To help protect against these common threats, we implement both technical and visual security practices. The technical practices include industry recognised standards such as DKIM and DMARC, as well as anti-spam, anti-malware, and much more. We also apply visual indicators that can help identify potential scams, if you receive an email from a staff member, but the email is marked as external, something is probably not right!
Network
Some clients forget that the physical network can be a significant part of building a strong cyber security foundation. Starting with a correctly sized and licensed Next-Generation Firewall, paired with effective and correctly targeted security policies puts you on the right track to creating a secure environment. On top of this, identifying and applying security policies to all devices on the network protects known company devices from unknown, unmanaged, or vulnerable devices.
Securing Ourselves
We understand that implementing additional security can introduce restrictions that impede your ability to work effectively, that’s why we’ve made the commitment to implement the same security for our customers on ourselves! By doing this, we get to experience the effect security changes could have before we roll them out and make any necessary tweaks beforehand. This also provides the additional benefit of knowing that we aren’t just your trusted IT partner, but we’re also just as secure as you are!
