The future can always look slightly unsettling, especially when it comes to cyber threats and protecting your business. Sure, we can worry about it, but that won’t help anything. Instead, we should aim to understand the evolving landscape of cyber threats, so we can be as prepared as possible in the event of a cyberattack on our organisation.

In this post, the team at Real Innovation Group outline the evolving landscape of cyber threats, and why ICT support that’s insured is such a crucial part of your business.

Mobile device management

Businesses are turning increasingly mobile, with more and more employees working from home or from remote areas. So it’s only natural that we discuss mobile device management in this post. Mobile devices are a key target for cybercriminals, as the increase in Internet of Things (IoT) devices poses an increased risk to network security.

Don’t worry – this doesn’t mean you’ll have to pull all your remote workers back into the office, and start using typewriters again instead of laptops. All it means is that your cyber security team should focus more and more on mobile device management.

  • Endpoint security
    Including all mobile devices on the same network is important for endpoint security – a system which constantly scans mobile and remote devices to identify threats early on. When endpoint solutions find suspicious behaviour, they quickly alert security teams, so threats are removed before they can do any damage.
  • VPN usage
    Using a virtual private network (VPN) is another highly valuable part of mobile device management as a way to safeguard your organisation from the evolving cybercrime landscape. A VPN is an encrypted connection between a device and a network. Transmitting between the two safely, a VPN prevents unauthorised people fromeavesdropping on traffic and allows the user to safely work in a remote environment. 
  • Email security
    Email is often the most common way attackers launch ransomware and other malware. Proper email security is a great way to defend your mobile devices against a ransomware attack. Advanced email security involves preventing data loss, blocking and detecting threats and securing important information in transit with end-to-end encryption.
  • Cloud security
    With Australian businesses going increasingly mobile, clouds are a great way to store data and communicate – but they’re also a prime target for for cyberattacks. Investing in better cloud security for 2024 is a move that many Australian businesses will need to make.

You can take all of these mobile device measures, but still fall victim to a cyber-attack.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Do you complete Security Audits?

YES - we can complete one-off audits to give you a second opinion on your environment. However, this is what we refer to as IT Cowboys, and we would prefer to build an ongoing relationship with you. That’s why, when you commit to one of our packages, we complete an onboarding audit, which includes a security audit, a gap analysis against our Tactical 12 fortress, along with internal and external penetration tests. We then put together a plan for remediation as quickly as possible to ensure your compliance and get your insurance sorted ASAP so you’re covered.

Do you come to site?

In the initial onboarding process, we attend your site to document and understand how you operate, completing a checklist, inspecting infrastructure suitability, meeting key stakeholders, and performing general IT housekeeping. Once the onboarding process is complete, your environment should be rock solid, and the need to attend the site moving forward should be very minimal, if at all.

Will my existing computers be supported?

YES - Providing they are a currently supported operating system by the vendor and under warranty by the manufacturer.

Do you support Apple Mac and can they be compliant?

YES - we worked hard to ensure that Apple products can be supported and secured under all our product offerings.

What happens if an issue arises outside my support contract?

inSUPPORT Helpdesk operates a 24/7 'follow-the-sun' support desk, serviced by a team of global geeks. You might get a Kiwi from New Zealand on one call, and a Pinoy/Pinay from the Philippines on the next.
