CYBER SECURITY


SOLUTIONS FOR BUSINESSES

Organizations of any size are at risk from cyber security. We are happy to discuss your concerns and help you achieve your IT security goals. We are one of the most trusted cyber security companies in Toronto. We offer a variety of cybersecurity solutions and services for businesses in Mississauga and Brampton, as well as the whole Greater Toronto Area.

It is essential to protect your company's network and data using IT security solutions, policies, and procedures. Cyberattacks can be made against you if you have data. Do not assume that your company is too small or your data isn't important enough to draw attention. Experts say it is not a matter if but when you will be a victim. Protecting your business and all involved can be done by being proactive and using the correct cyber security policies and solutions.


MINIMIZE RISKS

BSC helps organizations like yours to reduce the risk of ransomware attacks and data breaches that could have devastating consequences for your finances and reputation. In the event of a cyber security breach, we will ensure that there is minimal disruption to your network.

Are you ready to make a difference? Start today with a Cyber Security Assessment and a customized Cyber Security Strategy that fits your budget and unique needs.

You and our BSC Toronto IT support team together can ensure that your business, employees, customers, and business partners have adequate protections in place for both your network and vital data.

Note that Canadian companies must report data breaches to their customers, third parties and the federal privacy commissioner as of November 1, 2018.

TOP 7 WEAK SPOTS FOR CYBER SECURITY AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT THEM

Without strict and current cyber security measures, any organization is vulnerable. These include:

  1. Inadvertently, employees may allow access to your network through a Phishing attack. It is important that employees are taught how to recognize and avoid Phishing scams.
  2. Microsoft Windows and other software programs do not have the most recent security patches or updates. It is essential to ensure that your Windows computers have the most recent security patches and updates. These updates can protect your computer from viruses, malware, and other threats.
  3. Software that isn't kept current with antivirus software will be ineffective. Your antivirus software must be kept up-to-date.
  4. Poor password management means that your passwords are weak, easily stolen, and stored insecurely. Password management is an essential part of any company's security policies. Many employees aren't following the best security practices that they were taught. It is too difficult to keep track 20-30, 50 or more complicated passwords. This problem can be solved by our cybersecurity experts in Mississauga and Toronto. To access your "vault", you only need one master password.
  5. Laptops and desktops that run Windows 7 or an older operating system. Microsoft has stopped supporting desktops and laptops with Windows 7 or older operating system since January 2020. To continue receiving security patches and updates, users should upgrade to Windows 10/11
  6. Servers that run Windows Server 2008 and older operating systems. Windows Server 2008 and earlier versions of Windows Server 2008 were removed from support in January 2020. Any security vulnerabilities that may arise won't be fixed, and your company could be at risk.
  7. Data backup that:
  • Is not automated. There are many things on your plate. Automate them! The employee must perform the task consistently in order to provide manual backup solutions. What happens if an employee forgets, is sick or goes on vacation? How can you make sure backups are being made?
  • Don't regularly back up your data (hourly backups are recommended to reduce potential data loss).
  • Is not done daily to make sure backups are running smoothly. We have seen many companies that were surprised to discover they hadn't had a backup in place for several weeks or months.
  • Don't backup your data locally or to the cloud. Data should be stored in multiple places to ensure that you have access in case of a disaster.

 


IT CYBER SECURITY ASSESSMENT/IT CYBERSECURITY AUDIT

Without sophisticated discovery tools, it's almost impossible to determine how secure your computer network is and what data it holds. You will need the right tools and expertise to analyze and report on every aspect of your network security. This report will be provided by our Cyber Security Assessment/ Cyber Security Audit.

Our discovery tools are used to collect detailed information about your network. This gives us a baseline view of your network security at that time. In a report that is simple to understand and read, we present a summary of our findings as well as recommendations for areas that need attention.

After identifying your vulnerabilities, the next step is to implement the right cyber security policies and plans. We know that security measures must be balanced between industry best practices, budget constraints and security comfort levels.
