Cyber Security

​

Here are some key aspects of our cybersecurity process to protect our clients:

​

Perimeter Security:

We focus on protecting your network boundary from external threats. It involves using firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), & intrusion prevention systems (IPS) to filter & monitor incoming & outgoing network traffic.

​

Network Security:

Securing your internal network infrastructure involves implementing secure network protocols such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), securing Wi-Fi networks with strong encryption, & using network segmentation to isolate sensitive systems.

​

Endpoint Security

A software solution which protects individual devices such as computers, laptops, smartphones, & servers from various threats. It includes anti-virus & anti-malware software, host-based firewalls, & intrusion detection/prevention systems on each device.

​

Our state of the art endpoint solution has security monitoring tools & processes to detect & respond to security incidents in real-time.  The AI intelligence monitors your network 24/7/365 for irregular activity.  If AI detects unusual activity, our solution automatically isolates the machine from your network, protecting your network from possible encryption.

​

Their 24/7/365 security operations center (SOC) proactively responds to determine the required action which includes either killing the virus, or that no further action is required.  We are emailed all of the actions taken, & the SOC contacts us if further remediation is required.

​

Access control:
With your help, our engineers enforce strict access control measures to ensure that only authorized individuals can access sensitive systems & data.  We also use strong authentication methods such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) to enhance our client's security.

​

Data protection:
At your request, we can implement encryption techniques to protect sensitive data, both at rest & in transit.  We regularly back up critical data locally, & provide our client's immutable & air-gapped Cloud backups to protect against Ransomware.

​

Immutable (or unchangeable) backups are copies of files & data that cannot be altered or tampered with for a preset period of time.  Air-gapped simply means that your backup is isolated from your network so it can't be encrypted.

​

Security policies & procedures:
With the help of your key staff, we either evaluate your existing security policies or help develop & implement comprehensive security policies & procedures.  In that document, we define acceptable use, password management, data handling, incident response, & other important aspects of cybersecurity.

​

Employee training and awareness:
We educate our clients' employees about cybersecurity best practices with a proactive software solution.  It teaches how to identify & avoid phishing emails, suspicious websites, & social engineering attacks.
 

Incident response:
We have developed an incident response plan that outlines the steps to be taken in the event of a cybersecurity incident. This includes processes for identifying, containing, eradicating, and recovering from security breaches. We test and update the plan regularly.
 

Regular updates and patching:
inSync keeps all software, operating systems, & applications up to date with the latest security patches and updates. 
 

Collaboration and information sharing:
inSync stays updated with the latest cybersecurity trends, threats, & best practices.  We collaborate with our vendors, join relevant information sharing communities, & stay informed about emerging security technologies.
 

Our cybersecurity approach is a proactive & a continual effort that requires 24/7/365 monitoring, adaptation, & proactive improvement.  By implementing a multi-layered security approach & fostering a security-conscious culture, your business is protected against cyber threats & can mitigate potential risks.
