The tech firm IFB says that it’s supporting Cyber Scotland Week by providing free cyber security vulnerability checks to Scottish organisations.
Aberdeen-based IFB’s Threat Intelligence offering is part of cyber security services the company delivers, designed to provide an external and internal view of an organisation’s network and digital infrastructure. Scanning detects the status and condition of hardware and software, showing out-of-date versions, gaps in patching and updates as well as areas of misconfiguration, all of which can be exploited by potential hackers or cyber criminals.
Graeme Gordon, IFB’s CEO, pictured, says: “While no organisation can be 100pc secure, understanding the cyber risk and what your external and internal digital infrastructure looks like on a regular basis, means you can take action to reduce risks quickly and confidently. IFB’s Threat Intelligence provides clear and actionable intelligence for its customers in the form of a detailed digital report highlighting the risks, explaining what these mean and detailing how to fix any vulnerabilities and lessen the risks.”
The firm says that cyber security should be an obligation not just for technical staff and team members but at all levels including the board of any organisation. IFB has created an online dashboard with this in mind – to be customised for use by the technical teams responsible for fixing vulnerabilities and also in a key critical KPIs dashboard for senior management and board reporting – showing the risk, remediation and actions required to keep a business secure. Knowing what your digital environment looks like and understanding how to keep it secure has been a benefit to its customers, the firm adds, not just in normal and daily operations, but also when they have been looking to achieve and maintain security accreditations such as Cyber Essentials Plus.
To access the free external scan, companies are asked to register and complete a confidential security survey which helps them better prepare and understand their cyber status by contacting IFB directly. Visit https://www.ifb.net/security.
