CYBER SECURITY
Cyber security is how individuals and organisations reduce the risk of cyber attack.
Cyber security’s core function is to protect the devices we all use (smartphones, laptops, tablets and computers), and the services we access – both online and at work – from theft or damage. It’s also about preventing unauthorised access to the vast amounts of personal information we store on these devices, and online.
Cyber security is important because smartphones, computers and the internet are now such a fundamental part of modern life, that it’s difficult to imagine how we’d function without them. From online banking and shopping, to email and social media, it’s more important than ever to take steps that can prevent cyber criminals getting hold of our accounts, data, and devices.
FIREWALLS
Plum Communications next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) filter network traffic to protect an organization from internal and external threats. Along with maintaining features of stateful firewalls such as packet filtering, IPsec and SSL VPN support, network monitoring, and IP mapping features, NGFWs possess deeper content inspection capabilities. These capabilities provide the ability to identify attacks, malware, and other threats, and allow the NGFW to block these threats. NGFWs provide organizations with SSL inspection, application control, intrusion prevention, and advanced visibility across the entire attack surface. As the threat landscape rapidly expands due to co-location and multi-cloud adoption, and businesses grow to satisfy escalating customer needs, traditional firewalls fall further behind, unable to offer protection at scale, and leading to poor user experience and weak security posture. NGFWs not only block malware, but also include paths for future updates, giving them the flexibility to evolve with the threat landscape and keep the network secure as new threats arise. Next-generation firewalls are a vital component of implementing network security..

FAQs
How can I ensure my network will be protected from viruses?
Plum recommends a firewall with security services for the internet connection and up to date anti virus software on PCs.
How do I set up my router?
An engineer will install an output port in the wall if you have never had broadband on the premesis before. Thereafter, setting up a router is as simple as connecting your router to the outport port, plugging it in to a power port, and waiting for your provider to allow you access to the internet.
What does a firewall do?
A firewall acts as a digital barrier between you and unsavoury connections. With a firewall connections to harmful sites are blocked automatically. But you can also manually include websites you don’t want to connect with also.
