For small- or medium-sized businesses, it takes more than just a strong firewall and up-to-date virus and malware software to keep your network secure. The reality is that cybercrimes are a real threat to SMBs and can have disastrous repercussions.
Consider this: it takes roughly 191 days, on average, for unprotected organizations to identify a data breach. In that time, your business could face massive financial and data losses. Furthermore, depending on your business, any violation of privacy of your customer data could severely damage your professional reputation. Some businesses may never fully recover from such a disaster.
This is why cybersecurity services are so important. XBASE Technologies is a Managed IT services company in Toronto that offers a range of cybersecurity solutions, including Intrusion Detection and Intrusion Prevention systems to deliver strategic, enterprise-level support to SMBs. We can help protect your day-to-day operations from security breaches and cyberthreats that have the potential to ruin your business.
Working with a reliable cybersecurity company like XBASE Technologies of Toronto can give you peace-of-mind knowing that your business is protected against harmful attacks, ensuring you have more time to focus on other areas of your business operations.
Hiring a managed service provider to manage your cybersecurity professionally means that there is continued monitoring and updating of your cybersecurity systems across all endpoints. This includes planning and design, installation, and support of cybersecurity systems, network monitoring tools, and staff awareness training solutions. When you consider other issues like VPNs, password policies and management tools, data governance, and industry compliance, you’ll be glad you have the best cybersecurity services in Toronto to keep your business’s IT infrastructure and company data intact.
Toronto’s XBASE Technologies’ state-of-the-art cybersecurity services are based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cybersecurity framework. This framework specifies identification, protection, detection, response, and recovery as the basis for effective cybersecurity risk management. XBASE’s services are configured to provide a solution in each of these five areas, with tools, processes, monitoring, and reports designed to both protect and inform you of suspicious activities within your network. Visit our Cybersecurity Services page to learn more about this framework.
To understand how cybersecurity incidents happen, it’s best to be aware of the vectors of attack, and malware and phishing are the most common of those. XBASE believes that the first line of defence is knowledge. That’s why we offer training tools to help your employees better understand and recognize up-to-the-minute phishing, ransomware, and social engineering techniques. By empowering your staff to understand and respond correctly to these kinds of attacks, you will significantly reduce the chances of hackers compromising your data and putting your company at risk.
Our cybersecurity services in Toronto have the following three characteristics:
Through our advanced intrusion detection services (IDS), our team will monitor traffic on your network in real time to ensure known types of attacks or suspicious activities are avoided. We also run regular scans on networks to identify and remediate systems that may be at risk.
Any malicious activity will be blocked and investigated by our network operations team and we will notify our clients both immediately and via our monthly reporting and live dashboards.
Nothing is more frustrating (and dangerous to your business) than having your data—product ideas, client information, employee documents—lost or compromised due to either hackers or a disaster (whether natural, human, or technological).
Keep in mind that even the best detection and prevention systems can be bypassed. When all else fails, having a solid backup in place can ensure rapid recovery and prevent data loss.
XBASE Technologies provides fully managed and monitored remote backup and disaster recovery services that include regularly scheduled test restores and D/R tests to ensure recoverability.
Redundancy means to have systems and solutions backed up by identical systems and solutions in case of failures. If something goes wrong, our systems are designed to “failover” to the backup systems, providing a seamless continuation of your business operations and our support of it.
With XBASE, our hosting infrastructure consists of three geographically diverse Tier 3 data centers in Southern Ontario—one for communications, one for private hosting, and one for backups. This ensures that your data is always protected, and we can significantly reduce the risk of business downtime.
These three data centres are a great example of our investment in redundancy, which also includes redundant fiber links and Internet connections. Our Network Operating Centre is protected by UPS’s which are, in turn, protected by a natural gas generator so that we are always there to answer your calls.
As one of the top cybersecurity companies in Toronto, XBASE Technologies is always there where and when you need us. We provide full-service IT support solutions to suit you business’s ever-changing needs and we can help protect your data from getting into the wrong hands.
