We are pleased to announce that Conquered IT are now Cyber Essentials accredited
In this modern digital landscape, cybersecurity has become a pivotal concern for businesses of all sizes. Cyber Essentials, a scheme backed by the UK government, plays a crucial role in helping organisations safeguard themselves against common online threats and we are pleased to announce that Conquered IT are Cyber Essentials accredited. By adhering to a set of basic cybersecurity practices, businesses can significantly mitigate risks and protect their digital assets.
Cyber Essentials certification focuses on five key security controls. First, securing internet connections involves ensuring that firewalls and internet gateways are in place to protect against unauthorised access. Second, securing devices and software emphasizes the importance of configuring devices securely and regularly updating software to fix vulnerabilities. Third, controlling access to data and services ensures that only authorised personnel can access sensitive information, reducing the risk of insider threats and data breaches.
The fourth area, protecting against viruses and other malware, highlights the necessity of implementing robust anti-malware defences. This includes using antivirus software, restricting the use of removable media, and educating employees about the risks of phishing and other malicious activities. Finally, keeping devices and software up to date is critical. Regular patch management and updates help close security gaps that cybercriminals could exploit.
