Frequently Asked Questions

This is the first question you might want to ask before installing a cybersecurity solution in your organization. The three main uses of cybersecurity are to protect your data and networks, ensure network security by preventing unauthorized access to network resources, and improve the recovery time after any successful breach.

This is perhaps one of the most frequently asked questions about cybersecurity. Cybersecurity cost differs from organization to organization and from infrastructure to infrastructure. Businesses spend between 4% to 10% of their annual budget on cybersecurity. Implementing security awareness training can significantly reduce cybersecurity costs by helping employees recognize and avoid potential threats, thereby minimizing the risk of costly breaches.

VPN is a virtual private network, a VPN essentially refers to a secure private network achieved through encryption over a large network. Essentially, having a VPN allows you to browse anonymously without being detected by unauthorized users, preventing cybercriminals from gaining unauthorized access to your computer systems and sensitive data.Do you offer custom software development?

According to documented evidence, the following represent the most occurring threats in cybersecurity:

• Malware
• Phishing
• DOS
• Password attacks
• Man-in-the-middle attacks
• Trojan horse
• Ransomware
• SQL injection
• Drive-by downloads

Black hat hackers break into a computer system or network with malicious intent such as stealing sensitive information. Antivirus software is crucial in protecting against these malicious hackers by detecting and preventing unauthorized access. A white hat hacker is an ethical hacker who uses computer and cybersecurity skills to identify security vulnerabilities in computer networks.  A white hat hacker may try to hack into an organization’s computer system to ensure that no other hacker can access it. Usually, white hat hackers use skills like penetration testing to ensure that a company’s computer infrastructure cannot be accessed.

A firewall is a network security device that separates a trusted internal network from an external network deemed untrustworthy, such as the internet. It regulates incoming and outgoing network traffic based on preset security rules. Firewalls are paramount in shielding networks from unauthorized access, harmful activities, and potential threats, and can exist as hardware, software, software-as-a-service (SaaS), or public or private (virtual) cloud.

Firewalls scrutinize network packets and implement security policies, effectively barring unauthorized users or potentially harmful data from infiltrating or exiting a network. Notably, firewalls serve as gatekeepers, scrutinizing each network packet and deciding whether to permit or block it based on pre-set rules. This helps to ensure that only traffic deemed safe and legitimate is allowed through the firewall.

In addition to these core functions, today's next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) have a range of features to bolster network security. These include deep packet inspection, application visibility and control, intrusion detection and prevention, malware defense, URL filtering, and more.
