CYBERSECURITY SERVICES Protect Your Business with Expert Cybersecurity Services

NexusTek has supported businesses with IT infrastructure management for over 25 years, and this experience has given us a thorough understanding of the cybersecurity needs of growing businesses. Businesses often lack the budget and/or staffing levels to fully manage their own cybersecurity solutions using in-house resources. Furthermore, some businesses lack internal IT teams entirely, making it challenging for them to manage a comprehensive cybersecurity program on their own, or even to identify what types of cybersecurity services they need in the first place. With our understanding of this variability in knowledge, skill level, budget, and other resources among businesses, NexusTek has thoughtfully developed an extensive portfolio of cybersecurity services to meet each unique customer’s needs. Whether your business needs isolated services like cybersecurity monitoring or security awareness training to round out your own in-house cybersecurity program, or you have minimal defenses and need to build a cybersecurity regimen from the ground up, we’ve got you covered.

Ensuring robust data security across on-premises and cloud environments requires a multifaceted approach. Start by implementing strong encryption protocols for sensitive data, both at rest and in transit. It's crucial to manage encryption keys securely to prevent unauthorized access. Additionally, establish stringent access controls and least privilege principles, leveraging Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions to ensure only authorized personnel and systems can access sensitive data. Regular security audits and monitoring are essential to detect and respond swiftly to potential threats or breaches. Utilize Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools to centralize monitoring across both on-premises and cloud environments, enhancing visibility into security events. Maintain a comprehensive backup strategy for critical data and test recovery processes regularly to ensure data integrity and resilience against ransomware or data loss incidents. Furthermore, stay compliant with relevant industry standards and regulations, ensuring your cloud service providers also adhere to these requirements. Educate employees on data security best practices and implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) to bolster access security. By integrating these practices into a cohesive data security strategy, businesses can effectively mitigate risks and safeguard sensitive information across diverse IT environments.

Achieving and sustaining compliance with industry regulations demands a structured approach. Begin by thoroughly understanding the specific regulations pertinent to your sector, such as GDPR for data privacy or PCI-DSS for payment card security. Regularly review these regulations to stay abreast of updates and evolving requirements that could impact your operations. Conduct comprehensive assessments to evaluate your current compliance status, identifying any gaps or deficiencies. Develop and implement robust policies and procedures tailored to meet regulatory standards, covering aspects like data handling, security controls, and incident response protocols. It's essential to integrate strong security measures such as encryption, access controls, and continuous monitoring to safeguard sensitive information and mitigate risks effectively. Ensure that all employees receive appropriate training on compliance guidelines and data security best practices relevant to their roles. Consider engaging compliance experts or consultants to provide specialized guidance and support in navigating complex regulatory landscapes. Continuously monitor and update your compliance framework, documenting all efforts meticulously to demonstrate adherence during audits or regulatory reviews. By prioritizing compliance as an integral part of your business strategy, you can uphold regulatory standards, mitigate legal risks, and maintain trust among stakeholders and customers alike.

To improve your risk profile, consider several key cybersecurity services. Start with 24/7/365 monitoring and incident response through a Security Operations Center (SOC) using Security Incident and Event Monitoring (SIEM) software to detect and respond to threats immediately. Implement Identity and Access Management (IAM) to control and manage access to your network and systems, ensuring only authorized users have access, which is crucial for a zero trust security model. Regular security awareness training sessions for employees on the latest cyber threats and best practices can transform them into a strong line of defense against cyber attacks. Additionally, conduct vulnerability assessments and penetration testing to identify and address security weaknesses before they can be exploited by threat actors. Enhance endpoint security by protecting all devices with advanced security measures like antivirus, anti-malware, and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions. Implement data encryption for sensitive information and regular data backups to guard against data breaches and ensure data recovery in case of an attack. Utilize advanced firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and network security tools to safeguard your IT infrastructure. Ensure adherence to industry-specific regulations and standards through comprehensive compliance management services that include audits, reporting, and policy enforcement. Protect cloud-based assets with robust cloud security solutions, including access controls, encryption, and monitoring. Lastly, engage with a managed security service provider (MSSP) for ongoing security management, including threat intelligence, incident response, and regular security assessments.

Yes, many of the cybersecurity services and solutions NexusTek provides are consistent with the zero trust model. To be clear, zero trust does not refer to specific cybersecurity services or solutions, but instead refers to a set of security principles aimed at securing today’s diffuse, cloud-based infrastructures. For example, two key principles of the zero trust model are to (a) conduct continuous, explicit verification, and (b) implement least-privilege access. You might recognize that these two principles are reflected in identity and access management (IAM) solutions, as IAM gives your business control over who is granted access to your network and what level of access each person is given.
