How to Choose the Right CCTV Cameras for Your Facility
Dome, bullet or PTZ? Resolution, night vision, storage? A practical guide to specifying cameras that actually capture what matters.
Read articleSmall and medium businesses often assume they're too small to attack. Attackers assume the opposite: smaller companies hold money and data too, with fewer defences in front of them. The good news — most real-world attacks are opportunistic, and five controls stop the majority of them.
1. Multi-factor authentication everywhere
Stolen passwords are the number-one entry point. MFA on email, banking and admin accounts turns a stolen password from a disaster into a nuisance.
2. Patch the things facing the internet
Firewalls, mail servers, remote access — anything reachable from outside gets probed daily. A monthly patching routine closes the doors attackers scan for.
3. Backups that ransomware can't reach
If your only backup is a drive permanently connected to the server, ransomware will encrypt it along with everything else. Keep at least one copy offline or immutable, and test a restore quarterly.
4. Endpoint protection with a brain
Modern EDR tools don't just match virus signatures — they watch behaviour, and can isolate an infected laptop before the problem spreads.
5. Train the humans
The most convincing attack your company will face is an email. Short, regular awareness sessions — what phishing looks like, what to do when unsure — outperform any single appliance.
Security isn't a product you buy once. It's a small set of habits, done consistently.
We run security assessments that benchmark exactly these controls and hand you a prioritised, budget-aware fix list. No fear-selling — just the gaps and the order to close them.
