Cyber Security is a broad and complex field.

Each threat or vulnerability that is discovered may have a whole host of ‘silver bullet’ solutions that can prevent and overcome the potential damage.

With so many solutions, it can be hard to know which one to pick.

Do you stick with what you have? The vendors you’ve always worked with.

Or do you follow guidance from the likes of Gartner and Forrester who measure the market’s key players and judge their overall impact on the industry.

For some it may be as simple as ‘what you can afford’ and prioritising the risks that are most likely to need your attention is a sensible solution when budgets are limited.

For others it can be trusting a team of third party experts to review the industry on your behalf and tailor a security plan that suit your needs and your budget.

Pentesec offer security services and solutions that cater to every type of business need.

If you are a small to medium sized business with limited budgets and a need for ‘as much coverage as your budget can give you’ then we have routes we can offer.

For companies with no budget for dedicated cyber security staff, a managed security service is an extremely cost effective way to invest.

The benefits include:

Working with a team that spends every day living and breathing the world of security means that you can trust that your security will dynamically adapt to these demands and you are working with established processes and practices that have been developed across many similar projects.

Your business doesn’t exist to spend time focusing on operational concerns like security, it exists to deliver core products and services to your customers.

Knowing you have a dedicated team responsible for preventing interruptions to your business is powerful.

From a budgetary perspective, Managed Security Service providers  like Pentesec can leverage vendor partnerships to offer significant cost savings on the most advanced threat prevention solutions.

We offer Firewalls, Endpoint Security, Vulnerability Management and many more security solutions, all managed, maintained and supported by our dedicated team of vendor accredited industry leading experts.

This reduced cost of solutions, coupled with the reduced need to pay for recruiters, salaries, benefits, onboarding, training and the potential costs of a security breach if gaps emerge, make a managed service an extremely effective route to take.

For businesses that have already invested significantly in cyber security experts and training there are many solutions and services that can enhance your team’s capabilities or alleviate workflow pressures.

Security never gets to rest, even the ‘industry leading’ solution you purchased last year may have evolved in the months since your installation.

With new threats, there are also new solutions. New features, updates, functionalities or best practices can all offer you a major boost in your security or an upgrade on your capabilities.

Sometimes solutions can develop unexpected vulnerabilities that require patching or sometimes even replacing.

Expecting a team to stay on top of everything you invest in can be a tall order. Especially if they are faced with thousands of even millions of security alerts from the various technology sources you utilise.

This is why Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Manage, Detect and respond (MDR) services are popular amongst businesses of all sizes.

Investing in a SIEM platform is an excellent way to streamline your network and security data into meaningful reports covering network health, security and functionality.

A SIEM can help you to manage, detect and respond (MDR) to a wide range of threats, including: Insider threats, Phishing, Ransomware, Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, and Data exfiltration.

These solutions can be delivered as internal resources for your organisation to manage, or you can outsource them to a Managed Security Operations Centre (SOC) that offers SIEM, MDR and more to measure and report against the work of your security.

At Pentesec, we provide fully managed solutions for SIEM, MDR, Vulnerability Management and more.

Enabling your security team to maintain the daily demands of your business while we take care of the evolving threats and maintaining the attention and focus required to keep your security competitive at the forefront of the threat landscape.

Every business, regardless of size and industry, has a need for proactive cyber security.

The consequences of a breach are too damaging to avoid, but that doesn’t mean you need to endure the pain and stress of threat prevention.

Contact us today and we can arrange a call to review your business in its current state.

One of our security experts can build a report outlining the options that would suit you best moving forward and develop a strategy for reaching your desired outcomes.
