What’s more alarming is that more than 40% of those cybercrime victims are small to medium businesses (SMBs).2 Several technology pundits think small businesses are being targeted because they often don’t have the funds to implement good security measures to combat cybercrime or have more lax security standards than their enterprise counterparts.3
That’s where we come in.
The State Of SMB Security Is Poor:
With 86% Of SMBs Reporting That Their Ability To Manage Security Risks Is Not Highly Effective.
Even more astonishing is the fact that 50% of SMBs have experienced a data breach within the past 12 months, and 22% of SMBs surveyed by the Ponemon institute in 2016 admitted to having no intrusion-detection system in place.
You might be surprised to learn that 70% of all cybercrime threats to a network come from inside the network.4
Blind Spots
Small business’s biggest threat isn’t a hacker
It’s known that employee and third-party negligence is responsible for most data breaches, but the root cause of many breaches remains a mystery. One-third of companies admitted they were unable to identify a root cause following a data breach.
This means, 33% of the time, the vulnerability responsible for the breach is never identified and corrected. Because it goes unidentified, there is a greater likeliness of the same vulnerability being used again in the future to exploit your network.
Don’t wait until its too late. The time to act is now.
- A single security breach typically costs SMBs around $36,000 to remediate
- Half of SMBs reported experiencing at least one data breach in 2016
- 50% of small businesses fail within six months of experiencing a data breach
As cybercrime and other network security threats grow more advanced by the day, protecting your company’s systems and data becomes more challenging. We will work with you to make sure your security technology is in place and running smoothly. We use traditional SMB security best practices such as updating and patching, malware and anti-virus solutions, and managing your firewall policies to make sure all gaps are filled.
NetData Consulting Services offers a custom security solution, built for your business, based on your individual security needs. We will review your current security policies and work hand-in-hand with you to optimize them (or create a set if they don’t already exist). We then install cybersecurity software that scans and detects internal as well as external vulnerabilities. Complete coverage for your peace of mind.
In addition, we will work with you to provide unique security services that go way beyond these standard technologies to make sure your internal cybersecurity remains intact and hardened.
We provide a proactive solution to your network security. Our industry-leading internal security alerting solution takes into account your custom security policies. It intelligently identifies suspicious anomalies, changes, and threats on the network before they get out of control. In addition, our powerful analysis engine examines multiple data points and notifies you directly of security issues caused by unusual user behavior and network misconfigurations.
We set up daily and weekly alerts, so in case of an accidental or malicious breach, we have actionable intelligence to identify and eliminate the threat.
How Does it Work?
We aren’t a set-it and forget-it firm. We will be monitoring and reviewing your network’s security daily, making sure you are protected. A comprehensive security-as-a-service solution should include ongoing internal vulnerability detection, configuration change alerting, and a heads-up to anomalous user behavior and other types of unusual or suspicious activity. What’s our method?
Here is our six-step process:
- Conduct a risk assessment – scan the internal network from top to bottom
- Review network and security risks – eliminate false positives and look for omissions
- Develop a management and remediation plan – define parameters to get your business where it needs to be
- Set up cybersecurity policies – define the ‘what’ and ‘who’s’ of keeping your business safe
- Create your ongoing security solution that detects internal threats, and regularly tests for internal and external vulnerabilities – define and implement policies that meet your industry’s needs
- Set up regular reporting. Based on your level of service, we will create monthly, quarterly, or annually reports – we provide ongoing visibility into the security health of your network
