How can resellers safeguard customers against sophisticated threats placeholder thumbnail

In Comms Dealer November 21 issue, industry leaders discuss turning cyber threats into opportunities. 

 

The ever-evolving technology landscape creates gateways for the cyber-threat landscape and opportunities for attackers, the channel and their customers. 

A recent study from TextAnywhere, cited in Comms Dealer investigated the screen habits of 1000 employees in the UK. With the increase of people working from home, over 67% of employees are or have used their mobiles for work, posing a significant threat to business security. 

Resellers have a responsibility and the means to make customers aware of the emerging technologies that create risks to businesses. Partner Manager, John Denny shares his thoughts on how resellers can safeguard customers against increasingly sophisticated threats and retain their position as a trusted and dependable business partner. 

 

"Our industry has always been one with an ever-changing landscape, and with this comes not only a great opportunity but also a great threat. As new technology creates new avenues for customers to be compromised by those that would seek to cripple businesses for their financial gain.

 

We have a duty as Channel providers to stay on the pulse of these evolving threats, something that must be taken seriously. Delivering timely solutions that are proven to work, by partnering with the right solution providers, is the only way to ensure customers remain consistently protected.

 

There is a responsibility therefore to vet these providers properly, not only from a technological perspective but from a cultural one too. Only those with the customer at heart will deliver, and continue to deliver products and services that will protect customers for years to come, regardless of location: supporting hybrid, remote and office-based workers."

Why Wavenet pen testing is smarter than your average bear

When you think of the world of cyber and information security, what do you see? Is it a someone in a dark room, wearing a black hooded top, hunched over a computer with Matrix-style green code on the screen? Or, is it an office cleaner, wheeling a trolley full of sprays and cloths around desks as they scout a business – or someone who appears to be a health and safety inspector sneaking onto workers' computers to gather sensitive information? If you'd pictured the first scene, you're not alone. That's how the world at large tends to view cyber crime – and of course, much cyber crime is conducted by people sitting in front of computers. But if you'd pictured the second, then you'd be looking beyond that to the real lengths such criminals go to when trying to hack into organisations. And you’d also be picturing one of the unexpected and unique ways we at Wavenet can help your own company protect itself from devastating and costly attacks on its data. It's all part of our penetration testing service, and our Ethical Hacker and Principal Consultant, Rob Shapland explains more in this blog.
