It goes like this: Everyone in the company gets an email at 6am. It comes from the head of IT and instructs everyone to follow a link to install an update. Some people don’t spot that the head of IT’s name is spelled slightly wrong – a simple spoofing technique straight out of the cyber […]

Great passwords are: Difficult to think up Even harder to remember Highly frustrating when you get them wrong (and have to reset them) This is what encourages people into sloppy habits, such […]
As IT professionals, the concept of an operating system is a basic principle for us. Without Windows, macOS or even iOS, our devices wouldn’t run. But what about an operating system for your business? Is that a crazy idea? No, it’s not. If you think of an operating system as the fundamentals of how you want […]
Focus more, be interrupted less… and get stuff done. When you’re a business owner or manager, you have a lot of responsibilities. There are also many people who want to speak to you throughout your working day. Unfortunately, that means that you may be interrupted more often than you’d like. And you have to split […]

Everyone’s heard of the cloud. But do you know what it is? It’s likely you already use it in your personal life, perhaps to store digital photos and documents, or even for backing up your phone. When you access something in the cloud it means you are accessing information or using an application that’s […]
How to ensure your business’s budget on IT is an investment, and never an expense In the years we’ve been looking after businesses round here, we’ve noticed there are two different ways that owners and managers buy IT and technology. Some see it as an expense. Others see it as an investment. We […]

ThreatLocker is a zero-trust endpoint security tool giving companies control over what software can run, by whom, and what data can be accessed.
It keeps a full detailed audit of what applications are used and data accessed/transferred/deleted and by what users (signature tracking, etc.) If something unusual happens, such as a signature change, or a user opens an application that is out of their normal routine the administrator is alerted. This is a crucial tool in identifying malware threats, as well as helping organizations identify if users are accessing applications and/or data/ files they should not be.
ThreatLocker provides a solution that allows businesses to control the content that runs on their network. Unlike AntiVirus software ThreatLocker is not looking for known viruses or malware. ThreatLocker uses a complex set of rules to determine what can be executed on a network and stops anything that has not been approved before it can even execute.
Huntress is a supplement to SentinelOne. Hackers are becoming more sophisticated, and Huntress actively seeks out these threat actors with a "defend forward" mentality. This software combines both advanced security tools along with human intervention to ensure even the most advanced hackers can't penetrate your network.
SentinelOne is a comprehensive enterprise security platform that provides threat detection, hunting, and response features that enable organizations to discover vulnerabilities and protect IT operations. SentinelOne integrates static artificial intelligence (AI) to provide real-time endpoint protection and reduce false positives that derail investigations or make threat detection a capital-intensive process. This will replace Webroot in your current environment.
