What is IT Security?

IT security is the protection of computer systems from theft or damage to their hardware, software or electronic data, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.

As you are no doubt aware the need to have tight security these days is paramount as cyber threats are constantly evolving. To counter these threats there are many layers to put in place as there is not one device or program that will stop all attacks. This layered security includes:

User training and awareness
Secure Backups
Anti Virus
Anti Spam with Email encryption and continuity
O/S & Application Patch Management
Web filtering and Unified Threat Management
Mobile Device Management (inc 365 Enterprise Management and Security)
SSL certificates
Data Encryption such as Windows 10 BitLocker

We have used Onyx IT for nearly 10 years and their service has been simply great! They manage all our issues and using proactive monitoring they inform us of potential issues and put solutions in place often before a problem occurs. If a problem does arise they get back to us quickly and always provide a clear definition of the issue and quick resolution. One key element to Onyx’s service is their willingness in liaising directly with the 3rd party software providers of our Finance and CRM software packages and this gives me huge confidence in our whole IT infrastructure. Onyx-IT are not just a supplier to Raepak, they are an extension of our company and I would absolutely recommend them.
