Achieving enhanced cyber security with multi-modal approach

As more people have adopted a work from home (WFH) or hybrid work business lifestyle, the importance of safer internet transacting takes centre stage.

CICT (an Elvey Group company and part of the Hudaco Group of companies) takes a multi-modal approach to cyber security, which entails a dynamic link between certified, skilled and competent personnel, and leading solutions and products. 

The CICT team comprises highly-experienced network engineers, helpdesk and Security Operation Centre (SOC) support technicians, systems developers, pre-sales engineers and product specialists. Communication and collaboration between the individual team members results in a comprehensive tailor-made end-to-end customer experience.

Similarly, a strong and synergistic relationship with its OEM suppliers ensures enhanced cyber security for its clients and their customers.

Services include:

• Nerve centre and helpdesk – the digital hub and core of the company’s processes and technology that monitors, remotely manages, supports and regulates its own as well as clients’ networks.
• Network infrastructure – implementation and support, including design and rollout of clients’ networking requirements.
• IT maintenance and support – onsite and SOC technicians that perform routine on-site maintenance and a 24/7 remote support service through the nerve centre and helpdesk.
• Network and infrastructure auditing – accurate network and infrastructure audited information.
• Cloud computing – cloud infrastructure at all the major data centres throughout South Africa as well as the provision of Microsoft Azure dynamic infrastructure services.

Stay safe with CICT’s firewalls and network audits

Network and data security is critically important for businesses and requires the highest levels of protection against the increased risk of being exposed to cyber hacking and ransomware. CICT’s superior firewall and security knowledge is employed to protect client data and network integrity. In addition, a 24-hour technical support team is available to ensure businesses are fully safeguarded against cyber criminals.

Internal Email Protect

Mimecast Internal Email Protect applies best-practice security inspections to internal and outbound email traffic, allowing organisations to monitor, detect and remediate security threats that originate from within their email systems. It will:

• Provide comprehensive protection from threats originating from internal and outbound email.
• Detect lateral movement of attacks via email from one internal user to another.
• Identify and prevent threats or sensitive data from leaving an organisation.
• Automate the detection and removal of internal emails that are determined to contain threats.
• Simplify administration with a single console across Mimecast’s entire email security solution.

Offsite DR managed backups

Cloud-managed backups enable secure, automated disk-to-disk backup and recovery of critical information stored on servers or corporate devices. These include:

• Virtual backups. Dedicated backup implementations and backup solutions ensure that client businesses always have the protection in place to ensure ongoing business operation.
• On-premises backups. This includes tape, disk or replication backup options. This service forms part of monthly maintenance structures to ensure a business’s data is always secure.
• Hosted (cloud) backup solutions. Off-site backup allows backing up data to a remote server or to media that is transported off site. During cloud (online) backup, a copy of the data is sent over a network to an off-site server. A third-party cloud service provider typically hosts that server, but an enterprise can also own it.
