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. ### How is your IT security managed? The potential for exposure for Australian businesses is increasing, with a rise in external devices, applications and unsecured home networks connecting to enterprise systems. It’s critical that companies learn from the best practice approach of managed security service providers and implement a strong cybersecurity management strategy across all environments to help protect their data and information. Subnet’s Secure Seven checklist identifies seven cost-effective steps you can take to reduce your cybersecurity risk and develop a more robust approach to your IT security management. # [Back to Top](https://content.subnet.net.au/cybersecurity-2021-seven-cost-effective-steps-to-improve-cybersecurity-management#top) ## **What we do** - [Managed IT Services](https://subnet.net.au/what-we-do/managed-it-services-adelaide/) - [Cloud Services](https://subnet.net.au/what-we-do/cloud-services/) - [ICT Consulting](https://subnet.net.au/what-we-do/consulting/) - [Infrastructure](https://subnet.net.au/what-we-do/#infrastructure) - [Converged Networking](https://subnet.net.au/what-we-do/#converged-networking) - [Professional Services](https://subnet.net.au/what-we-do/#professional-services) - [Testimonials](https://subnet.net.au/what-we-do/#testimonials) ## **Case Studies** - [Zoos SA](https://content.subnet.net.au/zoos-south-australia-case-study) - [Berri Barmera Council](https://content.subnet.net.au/berri-barmera-council-case-study) - [Local Government Association of SA](https://content.subnet.net.au/local-government-association-of-south-australia) - [Valley View Secondary School](https://content.subnet.net.au/valley-view-secondary-school-case-study) - [Aberfoyle Park High School](https://content.subnet.net.au/aberfoyle-park-high-school-case-study) - [St Paul's Lutheran Homes](https://content.subnet.net.au/st-pauls-lutheran-homes-case-study) - [Northline](https://content.subnet.net.au/northline-case-study) ## **Get in Touch** 76-78 Leader Street Forestville SA 5035 Phone 08 7127 9400 Fax  08 8351 6376 [Privacy Policy](https://subnet.net.au/who-we-are/privacy-policy/) ### Follow Us - - - -
