The voice and data communications product company Spectra Group (UK) reports it’s extending its Cyber Security division. The firm says it aims to give SMEs similar options available to its Government, defence and public customers.
The company has identified cyber services as the ‘next huge growth area’ and heralds the launch of Spectra Cyber Security Solutions as a natural progression for the company. The Herefordshire-based company points to experience designing, delivering and maintaining networks for military organisations and Government agencies; designed to integrate with business architecture minimising downtime, the firm says. Data is available as and when required and it is kept secure and protected from attacks through its lifecycle. Spectra Cyber Security Solutions can provide defence-in-depth, with proactive testing, to identify vulnerabilities in networks and procedures and protect data.
Spectra operates a Security Operations Centre (SOC) which provides 24/7/365 monitoring of networks to identify a breach – or potential breach – plus providing a UK-based help desk. Spectra has the ISO 27001 information security management standard accreditation.
The company is also fully compliant with the UK Government-backed Cyber Essentials Scheme. Developed with the Information Security Forum (ISF), the Cyber Essentials checklist is for security companies to meet to be considered eligible to work with Government level security contracts. It is also a Cisco Partner – Cisco Select Certification recognises and rewards partners that have achieved a Cisco specialisation.
Simon Davies, CEO of Spectra Group (UK) Ltd, said: “Without doubt Spectra views cyber security services as the next growth area. We have already been delivering cyber services through our existing networks business so the launch of Spectra Cyber Security Solutions is a natural progression for the company.
“Among our talented employees are experts who possess all the know-how and experience to deliver highly bespoke security solutions to protect against cyber-attacks. As data now plays an increasingly important part in everyday life, ensuring its confidentiality must be of paramount importance to any organisation. We recognise that not every company can afford to have a large, highly trained, IT department, and some need a straightforward pricing system to plan their business operations. Spectra Cyber Security Solutions aims to make keeping companies safe from cyber-attack as simple and cost-effective a process as possible.”
