Strong security starts with strong foundations

The threat of Cybercrime in the UK is reaching an all-time high, with 39% of UK businesses identifying at least one cyber attack on their operations in the last 12 months, according to the UK government’s ‘Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2022’ report.
 

Unfortunately, there is no silver bullet to stop malicious individuals from attempting to breach your organisations defences. Invariably, organisations everywhere are looking to maximise their cyber security position whilst managing limited security budgets and ensuring they have the right skillsets available.
 

Because of this, it can be difficult to know where to begin your Cyber Security journey. At Nviron, we believe strong Cyber Security starts with establishing strong foundations.

1. Benefits of SECaaS
 

1. More cost-effective
 

SECaaS is generally cheaper than implementing traditional security frameworks as the costs are assumed by the service provider. Instead of purchasing the necessary hardware and software, licenses for the use of security software, and hiring skilled cybersecurity professionals. You would pay a regular fee for the utilisation of the protection services. This fee is typically much less than the cost of implementing a traditional security framework.
 

2. Immediate security updates
 

Network threats are constantly evolving as malicious individuals develop new innovative ways to compromise your networks. Therefore, it is integral that regular application and software updates are installed as soon as they become available. Using SECaaS, Nviron would perform these updates on your behalf meaning there is no planning required and no downtime whilst updates are installed.
 

3. Swift response time
 

Time is of the essence once a computer network has been infiltrated by a virus or malware. The longer it takes to identify and neutralise the offending actor, the greater the damage and disruption that can be caused. Traditional security frameworks generally have slower response times than their cloud-based counterparts as skilled staff may be unavailable at all times of the day to respond to network threats. With SECaaS offering round-the-clock network monitoring, there is always an expert available to respond to and neutralise any network threats promptly. This quick response time ensures that damage sustained to a network as a result of its compromise is limited in scope.
 

4. A Whole team supporting you
 

It’s difficult for many SMEs to justify employing a Cyber Security specialist as many don’t have the infrastructure to require a full-time hire. With SECaaS, you will always have a qualified team on hand, ready to respond to incoming threats and without the commitment of a permanent hire.
 

Security as a Service is becoming an increasingly popular option among enterprises and SMEs alike. The growing adoption of SECaaS is driven by a shortage of security resources – including qualified infosec professionals as well as skills and tools as a whole – coupled with the ever-expanding threat landscape. For many companies today, the idea of outsourcing the management, implementation, and oversight of the complex realm of security simply makes sense, and it’s proving a cost-effective investment for companies that take advantage of it.
