The services that adopt the approach of zero trust in delivering cyber security to your organisation.


The old school methodology is to assume a perimeter, and inside that perimeter, devices and applications are trusted, and outside that perimeter, they need to be assessed and protected against.  Effectively you have your corporate network, and anything inside the firewalls is to be trusted, and everything outside is to be protected against.

Zero trust is what is says on the tin.

Trust nothing.

No matter where it is on the network or in the cloud.

Everything needs to be validated in the cloud, hybrid, and on-prem world. Every transaction, every login, every activity. Zero Trust provides that continuous validation.



Zero Trust

The essential service of ensuring that your company retains copies of your online data,  with off line instances and potentially also in parallel, in the event that a cyber attack or systems failure damages or destroys the primary instance of your corporate data. 

Cyber Security and Business Operations best practice mandate that backups are taken of all corporate systems and data.  Backups should be taken  or both on premise and cloud data and systems.  It is essential that the data backup and restore process is tested on at least an annual basis.   Behind the data backup restore process there should be Incident Response Plans, that identify the people, processes, and procedures required in order to respond to any incident, be it cyber attack, systems failure, or natural disaster.

Data Backup and Restore

Knowing the current and potential threats that  present the greatest risk to your orgainisation, and proactively ensuring that the right people, process and technology solutions are in place to mitigate against them.

Threat intelligence is information on specific cyber threats to your organisation.  

Threat intelligence moves the goal posts: rather than responding to an attack, threat intelligence enables an attack to be prevented.  This can be anything from breaking up and arresting a cyber criminal group, to identifying the attack vectors and profiles in advance of attack,  then ensuring sufficient protections and mitigations are in place.  

Threat intelligence is gained from large data sources shared between cyber security companies, on global network and dark web activity, and also from honey pots, which are simulations of an actual company network, that then attract the attacks of criminal groups targeting the specific company.

Threat intelligence enables the delivery of ATP / Advanced Threat Protection.

Threat Intelligence

Services and technologies to support the fast and reliable delivery of cloud applications.

Services including management, performance enablement, and security for all elements of cloud infrastructure, across platforms: including Azure, Google, AWS, Oracle, Alibaba, and across network service providers

Cloud Networking

Providing data centre and network infrastructure as a service.  The client owns nothing and is not responsible for the servicing or management of the network or data centres, and is simply charged for the use of the services.

Infrastructure as a Service -  IAAS

Understanding network, internet, and systems activity, and being able to flag events that are due to an attack or security breach.

Cyber Security

IT is the world of Information Technology, and covers everything to to with computer hardware, computer software, information stored on computers, whether in the cloud, or on premise in your own data centre.

IT includes storing, processing, creating or changing data on a computer system - from managing your company accounts, to running your company factory, to creating amazing films, music, art and literature.

IT is at the heart of our world - with applications getting easier and faster to use, and doing more and more for us.

From smart fridges, to smart houses to smart cities - the beauty of efficiency and automation, versus the worries over data privacy, camera surveillance, and govt needs to know, versus an individual's right to privacy.

From cyber currency to cyber crime, from information clarity to online manipulation, troll farms, the dark web, and cyber crime.

This is all the area of IT.
