  • How does Managed Detection and Response (MDR) differ from traditional cyber security solutions?

    Traditional security solutions typically rely on static rule-based systems and signature-based detection, which may not effectively detect sophisticated and evolving threats. MDR, on the other hand, uses advanced technologies like machine learning, behaviour analytics, and threat intelligence to proactively identify and respond to potential threats in real-time. MDR also includes expert human analysis and incident response, providing a more holistic and proactive approach to cyber security.

  • What is disaster recovery in the context of cyber security?

    Disaster recovery in cyber security refers to the processes and strategies put in place to restore critical systems, data, and operations after a cyber incident or a catastrophic event. It involves implementing measures to minimise downtime, recover lost or compromised data, and resume normal business operations as quickly as possible following a cyber attack, natural disaster, hardware failure, or any other disruptive event. Our Data Loss Prevention service uses tools, and processes designed to prevent unauthorised access to sensitive information or data.
