Building an effective IT security system

A data breach or cyberattack is often the first sign of an organisation’s security vulnerabilities. It alerts the IT security team to risk and requires a rapid response to mitigate the consequences of the attack. However, many attacks could be prevented by implementing simple, low-cost security measures, such as managed IT support services. The ideal approach to cybersecurity management includes a strong mixture of effective technology solutions, a security conscious workplace culture and robust cybersecurity policies tailored to the specific needs of a business. Managed security services providers are experts at providing the right IT security mix that significantly reduces organisational risks.
