Why Managed Cyber Security?

Managed Cyber Security is an automated service that will ensure your cyber security is up to date, runs scans as scheduled and infections are detected, analysed, neutralized, and reported immediately. This is a critical step to secure your computers, server, network & wireless devices.

Efficiency

If an organisation does not have a Managed Service, the operational efficiency of the organisation can be significantly reduced due to downtime. When a cyber threat occurs, the threat can be so severe that it requires a complete re-install of the operating system, programs, and restoration of the data (if backed up). The time required for this can be up to many hours per system and much more time per server. Furthermore, an organisation could spend several thousands of pounds for the remediation and restoration of the data. If the data was not being backed up, that is another (but bigger) issue to think about (see our Cloud Backup solution).

Compliance

In addition to prevention, a Managed Service should always be part of any compliance strategy. One would find it difficult to meet the guidelines for any compliance without up-to-date cyber security software and the policies in place to check and maintain its operation.

Cost Effective

The value of a Managed Service should also be considered from an administration aspect. A Managed Service offers a more cost-effective approach to an unmanaged service. If the service is unmanaged, a technology administrator or an assigned office staff person must go to each computer to make sure security updates happen daily, and confirm that your protection is running, and scanning daily. Sometimes a person is out (sick/holiday) or there is not enough time in the day to complete this task. When this happens, “update gaps” occur where updates are not applied, and scans do not run. The status of your cyber security needs to be monitored constantly. A managed cyber security solution will send a live alert or notice to a help desk team to address any issues in real time.

Peace of Mind

A Managed Service from GT Cyber Security will go a long way in protecting your business and providing peace of mind. The risks of not having a managed solution far outweigh the costs to have it.
