Put Your Company's Data
into Good Hands

The threats to your computer network and data are real. These threats don’t stem from some character in a hooded sweatshirt looking at scrolling lines of computer code.

Most daily attacks against your networks are automated and, in general, broadcast to large swaths of the Internet. Roughly 85% of all email traversing the Internet is spam – either marketing or malware. Your spam filters do a good job at catching and stopping that 85%, but some are bound to go unnoticed and pass through to your users.

According a recent University of Maryland study, any given system or service exposed to the Internet is threatened every 39 seconds. Though many of these attacks are unsuccessful, it only takes one hitting an unpatched or particularly vulnerable system to land you in trouble.

Cyber Risk is defined as: A risk assessment that has been assigned to a cyber threat, such as a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack or a data breach. A cyber risk assessment may be either qualitative or quantitative, where the latter should estimate risk as a function of the magnitude of the potential loss, and the probability that loss will occur.

Many organizations are not aware that they are legally required to have a robust program to protect their network and data.

While one can argue that the reasons of maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and services to their employees, partners, consumers, and customers is a sufficient reason to have a robust information security program. Sometimes the subtlety of whether or not you must comply with a particular compliance regime is difficult. Getting expert help from a trusted advisor is recommended if there is any question.

HIPAA for medical information, PCI for credit cards, SOX for financial information are just a few of the many Federal, State and local regulations a company can fall under.

The most critical threats facing organizations include: Ransomware, Malware, Phishing and Wire transfer fraud. NCS provides services that will prevent attacks before they happen, and help your organization recover in the aftermath of an attack.
