Security Solutions

Antivirus & Anti-Malware

Antivirus is a necessity on any infrastructure. We constantly review the market to find the best product, and we test everything internally before we sell it.

We currently offer two products, both on a monthly contract:

Webroot

Webroot SecureAnywhere is an efficient antivirus focused on security and speed. Its unique approach to detection and monitoring lets it scan with little to no performance impact, while maintaining one of the most robust malware databases available.

BitDefender

If you're looking for small business antivirus that offers protection and performance without needing the very latest advanced features, Bitdefender is an excellent choice.

Email Security

Fully managed email protection, powered by Topsec — stopping threats before they reach your people, and guarding the mail already inside your mailboxes.

Topsec Email Security Gateway

Our managed email security platform eliminates spam, viruses, malware, phishing and every other type of email threat. It works at internet level, so threats are filtered out before inbound email reaches your gateway — and your outbound email is checked before it ever reaches your customers or suppliers. In short: don't let your business be vulnerable to email-based attacks.

• Inbound & outbound — operates at internet level, eliminating threats before inbound emails reach client gateways and before outbound emails reach your customers or suppliers.
• Multi-layered filtering — filtering takes place on multiple levels, with layers of security and a vast range of checks carried out on all inbound and outbound email.
• Based in the EU & UK — one of very few email security solutions not based in the USA, so your data and emails aren't subject to US privacy laws.
• Avoids lost productivity — a dramatic reduction in spam means less time wasted filtering messages, and more bandwidth for your business-critical systems.

Topsec Inbox Protect

Gateway filtering stops threats at the front door — Inbox Protect secures what's already inside. It protects your organisation in real time, scanning and quarantining internal mail (and re-checking historical emails too), so anything that slips through, or arrives from a compromised internal account, is caught before your people can interact with it.

• Real-time protection — advanced inbox protection scans and quarantines internal mail as it moves, with historical emails checked as well.
• Prevents risky interaction — stops staff engaging with potentially malicious mail — spam, phishing, malware and scams — before any damage is done.
• Protects every channel — safeguards the email flowing to and from clients, suppliers, invoices and reports.
• Peace of mind — advanced threat protection, smart email filtering, real-time threat detection and business continuity, all in one. Stop threats, save time, stay secure.

Internet Security

We've partnered with ActivTrak, whose invisible agent tracks and measures work activity without relying on human input.

The resulting unbiased dataset includes usernames, application title bars, website URLs, activity duration, screenshots, idle time and USB activity.

Protect your network and devices by restricting access to unsavoury or malicious websites with ActivTrak's blocking feature. You can further protect devices by enabling termination alarms, restricting application usage to only what's necessary.

Two-Factor Authentication

We've partnered with Duo Security, specialists in two-factor authentication.

Two-factor authentication adds an extra level of security to gain access to your IT systems. It's becoming very important if you use Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), as this is frequently targeted in hacking attempts.

• Multi-Factor Authentication — verify the identity of all users with Duo's strong two-factor authentication
• Endpoint visibility — check that users' devices meet your security standards before granting access
• Adaptive authentication & policy enforcement — set policies to grant or block access by user or device, based on contextual factors
• Remote access & single sign-on — seamless, secure access to cloud and on-premises applications and servers

Altaro Backup for Servers & Microsoft 365

Affordable backup that doesn't skimp on features — for both virtual machines and Microsoft 365 mailboxes.

Virtual machine backup

Altaro VM Backup's affordable pricing doesn't mean it lacks features. You get excellent deduplication, efficient compression, multiple offsite backup options and continuous WAN-optimised replication — a backup solution packed with powerful tools and great performance at genuine value.

Why back up Microsoft 365 mailboxes?

There's a common misconception that Microsoft fully backs up Microsoft 365 data as part of the subscription. It doesn't.

• No native backup options — Microsoft provides the infrastructure and ensures the service works, but protecting your data is your responsibility
• No help with unexpected data loss — a solid backup means that even if mailbox items disappear or are rendered useless, you have a backed-up copy
• Access and search problems — without a single backup location, mailbox data can't be protected and stored centrally for easy access, searching and recovery

Disaster Recovery

No one wants a disaster. Being able to communicate with your customers and suppliers to show you're still in business is the most important part of surviving one.

We can help you design a disaster recovery plan. Having worked for a company that suffered a fire, we can give genuinely beneficial advice on what really happens. Everyone concentrates their plan around IT — but IT is no use if you don't have premises to work from. We have alliances with landlords and commercial agents to help with exactly that.

We've worked with several clients who've had their own disasters and got them working again quickly and efficiently.
