Threats Your Business Needs Protection Against

01 Ransomware

Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts a business’s files, demanding payment in exchange for a decryption key.

The ransom can vary in size but will usually be a significant cost that we would urge you not to pay as there is no guarantee that you will be decrypted or that you won’t be targeted again.

02 Phishing and social engineering attacks

These attacks use fake emails, messages, or calls to trick employees into revealing sensitive information or downloading malware by ‘pretending’ to be a ‘legitimate’ source, an email from a trusted sender, as an example.

03 Malware attacks

These attacks involve infecting a company’s computers or network with malicious software that can steal data or disrupt operations.

04 Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks

A DDoS attack involves a threat actor overwhelming your business’s servers and network with traffic which makes it unavailable to users.

05 Passwords

Password attacks include brute-force attacks, dictionary attacks, and other methods of cracking passwords to gain access to sensitive information. If passwords are too predictable or remain unchanged for long periods of time, they can be easily guessed or cracked, leaving easy access for hackers.

06 Working from home

Cloud-enabled systems have helped many of our customers adapt to flexible working over the last 3 years. As people continue to work from home in greater numbers than ever before it is important to remember that all data is now stored in the cloud and is vulnerable to attack. Each employee working from home with a laptop and Smart phone increases further the threat area.

07 Third-party and supply chain

Many organisations give system and network access to 3^rd party suppliers or vendors who may not operate at the highest security level. Their vulnerability can make you exposed to the same cyberattack.

08 Human error

Strategic or otherwise, human error threats come from within an organisation, from employees who suffer from lapses in concentration, are not trained properly or those who have access to sensitive information and abuse that access.

How LoughTec can protect your business?

The LoughTec SOC is responsible for detecting, analysing and responding to security incidents in real time delivered through software, technology and (human) security analysts. In addition to 24/7 monitoring and management, the SOC helps organisations maintain
security policies and procedures, deliver training and provides regular reports on our customers security posture.

Here’s how it works:

Step 1.

No obligation, no cost initial consultation to review your current security protocols, enhanced potential requirements and your main concerns.

Step 2.

Deploy the LoughTec System Security Scan for a deep dive on your current cyber posture as well as your threat risk score and analysis.

Step 3.

Review all findings and create our joint cyber security action plan to mitigate the potential risks.

Step 4.

Implement the required tailored cyber improvement plan and resolution actions for your business.

Step 5.

Ongoing LoughTec account management updates with additional training and support tools and plans available.

Our advice to every business is that you need better visibility of your security posture and an understanding of the implications to your business of a data breach, malware or ransomware or any current threat.

Remember cyber threat is a real and constant – there is a good chance that you have already been hacked. If not yet, you definitely will be. It’s important to know that your network is being monitored 24/7/365 – just like you would for your property or plant.

Cyber protection is an investment, not an expense – the LoughTec SOC can protect your most valuable business assets from as little as £4/day.

Customer Success Stories

Don’t just take our word for it

“The deployment process was quick and seamless, and was completed across all our endpoints in a couple of days. The reporting from the SOC is essential for us. It gives us a demonstration of its value for money. We can show our directors and management, ‘these are the types of attacks that have happened or attempted to happen, and this is how the system is paying for itself.’

What price can you put on the loss of your data or your business being down for a significant amount of time?”

Brian McCabe, Global IT Manager

“Our business was the victim of two hacking incidents – one in which our IP address was ransomed and we were invited to pay in Bitcoin to release it. The other was an email spoofing incident, where one of our clients was contacted by an unknown source claiming to be us.

“I would strongly suggest an IT security audit, as a minimum starting point for any business. It gives results and advice on things that you would not ordinarily consider in terms of your cyber security.

“The LoughTec Security Operations Centre (SOC) helps protect our IT infrastructure, protecting our business and our data.”

Yvonne Conway, Project Manager

“LoughTec is one of the leading Cyber Security systems providers worldwide and our research highlighted that they provide one of the most advanced file upload malware protection and detection solutions.

This partnership with LoughTec gives us the confidence and assurance that every file system uploaded through our platform is malware and virus free, allowing us to focus on our core business of selling property.”
