Spotlight on Cyber Security

Prevention is better than cure and usually less costlycyber security solutions small businesses in London

As cyber security threats grow exponentially, so do the opportunities for you to strengthen your defences. But with so many new security products and services available, it is easy to get overwhelmed and bury your head in the sand.

 

We are often asked by clients, where should we start?

The first step to being cyber secure is carrying out a Cyber Security Riskcyber-security-risk-assessment-for-small-business-london Assessment, where your biggest risks are identified and options to mitigate them are presented - giving you the information you need to make informed decisions.

A Cyber Security Risk Assessment is a critical component of your cyber risk management strategy. One which will help you accurately evaluate your company’s security posture and help you understand where you need to invest and focus your attention.

So with October bringing the ten-year anniversary of European Cyber Security month (and with Hall🎃ween just gone), it's the perfect time to focus on the security ‘horrors’ we all want to avoid.

Our founder Raja Pagadala was delighted to attend DattoCon in Washington D.C., USA. Datto’s mission, to empower the world's small and medium-sized businesses with the best in enterprise-level technology, is totally aligned with that of The Final Step.

"It was great to attend and get a more strategic view of security and recovery. Also, to compare and contrast the approaches in USA and UK. There were many valuable insights into vendors' offerings and how they are addressing security, end-user training and new ways of working.

All of these adaptations were necessitated by post-pandemic hybrid working, the drive to Cloud computing and digital transformation. It's a challenge to do more with less in an increasingly complex digital world of work."
