Anything else?

SA1 have various methods in place to ensure complete security and resilience. Just some of are more common approaches are:

• Consultancy and Training: Knowledge is power. Understanding what methods you are currently using and how you could adapt can have a big impact. Did you know that one of the biggest weaknesses in any business is password policy? Organisations need to remember that they may have the strongest software in place, but if your employees do not understand the risks to their computer systems then you will remain vulnerable. Passwords should not be as simple as ‘Admin1’, they should have a mix of upper and lower-case letters and numbers. They should also be changed at least every 90 days.
• Email Security & Spam Protection: SA1 have multiple email security and spam protection solutions that are available to suit businesses of all sizes and budget. Just one of our solutions offers 99.9% of spam identified and quarantined, this reduces wasted staff time and improves productivity.

• Antivirus Software: If a computer or device attaches to the internet without anti-virus protection it can be infected within minutes. Antivirus companies are constantly dealing with more than 60,000 new pieces of malware created daily. Unfortunately, no single antivirus product is 100% effective, this is why SA1 offer multiple virus protection solutions.
• Network Security: Networking can have a number of benefits. It can allow an organisation to share things like software, data, hardware and broadband. It can also increase a company’s storage capacity, but how secure is your organisations network? SA1 network is continuously monitored and tested regularly to ensure resilience against IT threats.
• Disaster Recovery: Having a stringent DR plan in place is key to protecting your businesses information. We have a solid and rigid disaster recover solution to protect and maintain our server configuration. Our in-house server infrastructure is replicated and backed up to various locations to cover all possibilities and to ensure continuously uptime. SA1 can also either advice and facilitate you in creating your own disaster recovery plan.
