We’ve all heard this. But what does it really mean?

Security is Layers _Hero _LARGE

Strong security is a series of overlapping protections.

Each strengthening the ones below. Your budget and your risk tolerance dictate the layers and tools to apply.

 

Cybersecurity is Layers_The Foundation
A strong security program starts with a stable foundation: modern computers, current operating systems, proper licensing, and reliable antivirus/antimalware protection. 
Cybersecurity is Layers_Essentials
Essential security adds the controls that help keep attackers out: endpoint protection, strong password practices, two-factor authentication, and security awareness training. 
Cybersecurity is Layers_ Managed Security
Managed security brings structure and oversight through asset management, patching, backups, directory services, access policies, and simulated phishing tests. 
Cybersecurity is Layers_ Email Security
Email security reduces one of your biggest attack surfaces by filtering threats, controlling access and forwarding, flagging outside senders, and making phishing easy to report. 
Cybersecurity is Layers_ Data Security
Data security protects the information your business depends on by centralizing it, controlling access, encrypting and sharing it safely, and backing it up—and testing those backups. 
Cybersecurity is Layers_ Advanced Protections
Advanced protections add proactive defense and resilience through MDR, disaster recovery, 24x7 SOC monitoring, vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and red/blue team exercises. 

 

We believe the internet is the most dangerous place on the planet to work. But you don’t need a huge budget to protect what you’ve built.
