Cicom® beefs up your security

Cyber security attacks are cited as No. 2 in the top 10 global business risks according to the World Economic Forum.

Cicom® upholds a pledge to provide strengthened security and governance for your Northern Rivers enterprise. Underscoring this commitment to you is the recent upgrade of our mail filtering tools and endpoint defence to Sophos, a UK-based software intelligence and security surveillance firm.

This defensive upgrade incurs an elevated cost to Cicom®. However, we have absorbed these increases with no added costs passed to our managed IT services clients.

Back-to-back server and internet gate security
Inline with our revised security mantle, we also offer a suite of back-to-back network protection options. These are designed to reinforce web filtering, enforce stricter security policies, and provide detailed threat analysis and detection.

This add-on is a crucial consideration for any organisation that understands present-day cybersecurity hazards. Recommended for astute operators who appreciate these risks, this add-on is pegged at $9 per month per device that acts as an endpoint or gateway to the internet.

Education is key
User education is key to softening the blow of email threat exposure. Cyber attacks are cited as No. 2 in the top 10 global business risks according to the World Economic Forum.

Recognising this and noting that the foremost liability in cybersecurity weakness is human error, we have partnered with Sophos to introduce a security awareness campaign drive.

For $5 per user per campaign, Cicom® will assess your staff’s response to dummy email threats, then disclose the results to your management team for action.
