Anti-Virus
Over a quarter of organisations which fall victim to ransomware attacks opt to pay the ransom as they feel as if they have no other option than to give into the demands of cyber criminals – and the average ransom amount is now over $1 million.
The top three challenges named by enterprise IT security teams were an increased volume of threats and security incidents, insufficient remote access / virtual private network (VPN) capacity, and increased risks due to unmanaged devices.
With such a shortage of qualified Cyber specialists it is essential for organisations to have a clear plan in the event of a ransomware attack.
FortNet work closely with our customers to ensure they have the most appropriate end point protection whether it be straightforward anti-virus or more comprehensive endpoint protection with sophisticated tools and services.
Data Loss Protection (DLP)
DLP can protect against all kinds of adversaries, malicious or not. 61% of companies have suffered an insider attack in the past year. 22% have had six incidents.
Since 2007 there have been thousands of data breaches and many more security incidents.
Billions of records have been lost in giant data breaches such as: the database misconfiguration that leaked nearly 200 million US voter records in 2015, the Equifax data breach that kept getting bigger, BA having 5000 credit cards skimmed and the Yahoo breach that affected 3 billion users.
These are only a few of the many headliners that emphasise the need to protect your organisation’s data.

Insider Threat
An insider threat is the risk posed by employees or contractors regarding the theft of sensitive data, misuse of their access privileges, or fraudulent activity that puts the organisation’s reputation and brand at risk. The insider’s behaviour can be malicious, complacent, or ignorant, which in turn can amplify the impact to the organisation resulting in monetary and reputational loss.
80% of employees tend to take data with them, 2 weeks to 2 months prior to their termination date.
The main insider threats to UK organisations include: the theft of confidential company data from employees planning to or moving on.
Employees failing to follow corporate guidelines can be assisted with Staff Awareness Training
Remote Access
Do you need a VPN, biometrics, two factor authentication, or employee education?
Remote access is here to stay. Whether you are working from home, a hotel, or WIFI hotspot you will need to secure access to your data.
FortNet UK Ltd specialise in providing our customers with guidance to ensure you have the appropriate security in place to secure your staff and data wherever they might be.
Email Security
After anti-virus your staff are the next line of defence. By implementing Staff Awareness Training you can reduce the threat of malicious emails. Adding EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) will help to detect day zero attacks and spot when a member of staff has opened a malicious email. This should all be supported by 24/7 monitoring which can be covered by an Outsourced SOC, if required. To reduce the threat of email attacks further it becomes necessary to deploy anti-spoofing tools and domain impersonation.
