Many organisations believe that the threat prevention tools and strategies that protect their Enterprise scale counterparts is beyond their reach. However, these assumptions are now being challenged as the same threats that threaten large enterprises are spreading to all types and scales of organisation. Every organisation is facing the same scale of threat – and every organisation now needs to have a threat prevention policy in place.
As cyber criminals gain increasing sophistication in their threats and tactics, most organisations are looking for a smart solution that remains active and agile as threats are encountered.
Many organisations are starting to see their peers held to ransom, threatened with extortion and simply attacked with no reason or warning. Some of these organisations are even being put out of business because of these attacks. Putting the best possible threat prevention tools in place is becoming a no-brainer as the capabilities increase and the costs continue to reduce.
Additionally, modern threat prevention tools include enterprise level features that apply to the organisations network both on premise and in the cloud. Organisations of all sizes are now investing in these security solutions with enterprise-scale capabilities at affordable costs, rather than having to face the aftermath of an attack.
Smarter organisations are seeking advanced threat prevention with automated updates to security policies and tools, along with clear oversight, management and reporting features. These features are all available and have been honed by larger enterprises that have already learned the lessons of poor security.
To cater for the growing demand for enterprise scale security, providers are developing tools that deliver advanced threat protection and prevention while remaining agile, scalable and intuitive. These systems allow the business to carry on functioning while automatically maintaining the threat prevention and compliance standards that their customers are demanding.
With the ever changing threat landscape and the rapid developments and advancement in technology, maintaining a strong cyber security strategy is critical for every business.

This assessment will give you an independent security review that identifies gaps and provides recommendations around areas in which your organisation may be vulnerable to cyber security threats.
