Security
With the digital landscape continually evolving, so do the cyber threats targeting UK businesses. From sophisticated ransomware to increasingly deceptive phishing attacks, businesses must stay informed to defend against these growing risks.
Below, we break down the most pressing cybersecurity threats of 2024 and how Teknobu’s solutions, including endpoint protection, firewalls, and monitoring, can help safeguard your organisation.
1. Ransomware Attacks
Ransomware has remained one of the biggest threats, with cybercriminals targeting businesses of all sizes. These attacks involve malicious software that locks or encrypts data, holding it “hostage” until a ransom is paid. For UK businesses, ransomware is not only costly in terms of ransom demands but also causes significant downtime, legal ramifications, and reputational harm.
How Teknobu Can Help: Our endpoint protection solutions prevent ransomware from infiltrating your network. Additionally, we implement robust backup and recovery protocols to ensure that, even in the worst-case scenario, you can restore your data without compromising your business.
2. Phishing and Social Engineering
Phishing attacks, often disguised as legitimate emails or messages, trick employees into revealing sensitive information or downloading malicious attachments. As phishing tactics become more personalised and convincing, UK businesses face a heightened risk of data breaches and compromised credentials.
How Teknobu Can Help: We provide tailored security training to help employees recognise phishing attempts. Our advanced email filtering and endpoint security tools also detect and block phishing links, adding an extra layer of protection against social engineering.
3. Insider Threats
Not all threats come from external attackers; employees, whether malicious or careless, can compromise your security. Insider threats may involve data theft, accidental information leaks, or unauthorised access, putting sensitive business data at risk.
How Teknobu Can Help: Teknobu’s monitoring solutions provide real-time visibility into user activity, identifying unusual or unauthorised access. By setting up role-based access controls and enforcing strict policies, we minimise the potential for insider threats.
4. Supply Chain Attacks
As businesses become more interconnected, the security of your suppliers and partners is just as critical as your own. Supply chain attacks, where cybercriminals infiltrate through a third-party vendor, can compromise your data without directly targeting you.
How Teknobu Can Help: Teknobu assists with evaluating the security protocols of your vendors and partners. Our firewall solutions help secure communication with third parties, while regular security audits ensure that your network remains protected from potential backdoors.
5. Cloud Security Risks
With the rise of remote work, cloud solutions have become essential. However, misconfigurations, poor access controls, and unencrypted data can expose your business to cloud-related security vulnerabilities, leading to data breaches or service disruptions.
How Teknobu Can Help: Our cloud security services offer tailored solutions, including multi-factor authentication, encryption, and secure access controls. By continuously monitoring cloud environments, we can detect vulnerabilities early and protect your cloud assets from unauthorised access.
6. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks
DDoS attacks, where cybercriminals flood your network with traffic to overwhelm systems, are increasingly common. These attacks can lead to prolonged downtime, disrupting services and impacting your brand’s reputation.
How Teknobu Can Help: We offer DDoS protection to monitor and mitigate abnormal traffic patterns. Our firewall solutions include adaptive capabilities, allowing us to quickly detect and block suspicious traffic, keeping your business online and operational.
