The Foundations of Cyber Resilience | A Saepio Webinar Series

The threat landscape continues to evolve and SMEs are being targeted by threat actors resulting in significant disruption to business. It’s never been more important to ensure all the foundations of cyber resilience are adopted and can be demonstrated to customers and partners through certifications like Cyber Essentials Plus.

Saepio’s expert advice is increasingly demanded by SME organisations to improve resilience to adversarial activity and we talk to hundreds of businesses on a weekly basis. Our Solutions Experts have created this series of events designed to explain how to tackle the fundamental areas of cyber security with a view to determining the right level of cyber resilience for your organisation.

The Cyber Foundations Assessment (CFA) is designed to help organisations understand their current Cyber Security Baseline. Saepio knows that not all organisations are the same, and that the level of time and investment made into Cyber Security needs to be the right size. The CFA will assess against a strong foundational level of cyber maturity, with the option to accredit for Cyber Essentials plus if required. Outcomes include a clear road map for future improvements, relative to the risks an organisation faces, as well as a maturity strategy.

Malware refers to any malicious software (e.g. viruses, worms, spyware, botnets, ransomware etc.) that can infect your systems. Some malicious programs will access your sensitive data, some may encrypt it, some could steal it or some may just use the compute power of your machines to crypto-mine for example, slowing them down and costing you money. Malware can be delivered to your machines through a variety of methods such as via infected USB drives, through drive-by downloads from malicious websites, or more commonly through phishing. This webinar will be looking at ways you can protect your systems from malware infection.

Training your staff to recognise security concerns can help lower your chances of suffering a data breach, being hit by ransomware, or falling for a payment fraud scam. Modern awareness training programs cater to individual’s needs, addressing human risk using real-time metrics.

Our partner Egress will be providing their data and insights into how email security is intrinsically linked to managing human risk. This webinar will cover best practice for a modern human risk management programme.

The Cyber Essentials scheme is a Cyber Security certification programme developed by the UK government to help organisations, both in the public and private sectors, protect themselves against common cyber attacks. It was launched in 2014 as part of the UK’s National Cyber Security Strategy and is designed to encourage good cyber security practices and raise the overall level of Cyber Security in the country. If you want to work with Government you will need Cyber Essentials certification. This webinar will cover the accreditation process and the steps necessary to achieve certification.
