SECURE
Cybersecurity protecting and securing your business data and network
Data is the most valuable commodity in the world – and under threat every day.
1CONNECT can help you secure and protect your network infrastructure and data with leading edge cybersecurity solutions to suit every budget.
SECURE
The Threat to Your Business
The business of today faces numerous threats to its cyber security which can compromise data and day to day operations.
In recent years we have seen many organisations become victims of ransomware attacks, massive data breaches, and supply chain threats with attackers being able to achieve many of their aims by using techniques that are not particularly advanced, blurring the distinction between nation states and criminals.
The 2017 Wannacry ransomware attack for example spread rapidly and affected 300,000 devices spanning 150 countries and affected services worldwide, including the NHS. The attack demonstrated the real-world harm that can result from cyber attacks, particularly when they are designed to self-replicate and spread.
Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials is a UK government information assurance scheme operated by the National Cybersecurity Centre (NCSC) that encourages organisations to adopt good practice in information security.
It includes an assurance framework and a simple set of security controls to protect information from threats coming from the internet.
Organisations can earn two levels of certification, or badges:
Annual recertification is recommended. Certifying Bodies are, in turn, licensed by Accreditation Bodies which have been appointed by UK government.
1CONNECT can help you find the right security solution whatever the size of your business and the requirements to protect it.

How to protect your network
The Internet can be a hostile environment. The threat of attack is ever present as new vulnerabilities are released and commodity tools are produced to exploit them. Doing nothing is no longer an option. Protect your organisation and your reputation by establishing some basic cyber defences to ensure that your name is not added to the growing list of victims
Reducing your exposure to cyber attack
Fortunately, there are effective and affordable ways to reduce your organisation’s exposure to the more common types of cyber attack on systems that are exposed to the Internet. The following controls are contained in the Cyber Essentials, together with more information about how to implement them:
- boundary firewalls and internet gateways – establish network perimeter defences, particularly web proxy, web filtering, content checking, and firewall policies to detect and block executable downloads, block access to known malicious domains and prevent users’ computers from communicating directly with the Interne
- malware protection – establish and maintain malware defences to detect and respond to known attack code
- patch management – patch known vulnerabilities with the latest version of the software, to prevent attacks which exploit software bugs
- whitelisting and execution control – prevent unknown software from being able to run or install itself, including AutoRun on USB and CD drives
- secure configuration – restrict the functionality of every device, operating system and application to the minimum needed for business to function
- password policy – ensure that an appropriate password policy is in place and followed
- user access control – include limiting normal users’ execution permissions and enforcing the principle of least privilege

Cisco NGFW (Next Generation FireWall)
Defending networks against increasingly sophisticated threats requires industry-leading intelligence and consistent protections everywhere. Improve your security posture today with Cisco NGFW.
Cisco NGFW sets the foundation for integrating powerful threat prevention capabilities into your existing network infrastructure, making the network a logical extension of your firewall solution.
Below we highlight five key benefits of having a secure Cisco NGFW as part of your network security.
Breach Prevention and Advanced Security (click to expand)
Prevent attacks and quickly detect malware if it gets inside
Job number 1 of a firewall should be to prevent breaches and keep your organization safe. But since preventive measures will never be 100% effective, your firewall should also have advanced capabilities to quickly detect advanced malware if it evades your front-line defenses. Invest in a firewall with the following capabilities:
Comprehensive Network Visibility (click to expand)
See more so you can stop more
You can’t protect against what you can’t see. You need to monitor what’s happening on your network at all times so you can spot bad behavior and stop it fast. Your firewall should provide a holistic view of activity and full contextual awareness to see:
• Threat activity across users, hosts, networks, and devices
• Where and when a threat originated, where else it has been across your extended network, and what it’s doing now
• Active applications and websites
• Communications between virtual machines, file transfers, and more
Flexible Management and Deployment Options (click to expand)
Customisation to meet the unique needs of every organisation
Whether you are a small to medium-sized business, or a large enterprise your firewall should meet your unique requirements.
• Management for every use case – choose from an on-box manager or centralised management across all appliances
• Deploy on-premises or in the cloud via a virtual firewall
• Customize with features that meet your needs – simply turn on subscriptions to get advanced capabilities
• Choose from a wide range of throughput speeds
Fastest Time to Detection (click to expand)
Accelerate malware detection to mitigate risk
The current industry standard time to detect a threat is between 100 to 200 days; that’s far too long. A next-generation firewall should be able to:
• Detect threats in seconds
• Detect the presence of a successful breach within hours or minutes
• Prioritize alerts so you can take swift and precise action to eliminate threats
• Make your life easier by deploying consistent policy that’s easy to maintain, with automatic enforcement across all the different facets of your organization
Not a lone wolf. A member of the pack (click to expand)
An integrated security architecture enables automation and reduces complexity
Your next-generation firewall should not be a siloed tool. It should communicate and work together with the rest of your security architecture. Choose a firewall that:
• Seamlessly integrates with other tools from the same vendor
• Automatically shares threat information, event data, policy, and contextual information with email, web, endpoint, and network security tools
• Automates security tasks like impact assessment, policy tuning, and user identification
