Network Secures Cyber Essentials Certification for 2024: What It Means for You

In today’s digital world, where cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated by the day, ensuring the security of your business data is absolutely essential. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that Network, your trusted Managed Service Provider (MSP), has once again successfully renewed its Cyber Essentials certification for 2024.

What is Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed scheme designed to help organisations protect themselves from a wide range of the most common cyber attacks. It’s not just a tick-box exercise – it’s about ensuring that the right security measures are in place to keep your data safe. The certification process involves a thorough assessment of five key security controls:

1. Firewalls: Protecting your network from unauthorised access.
2. Secure Configuration: Ensuring that your systems are set up securely from the start.
3. User Access Control: Making sure only the right people have access to your data.
4. Malware Protection: Defending against viruses and other malicious software.
5. Patch Management: Keeping your systems up to date with the latest security fixes.

Achieving Cyber Essentials certification shows that a company is serious about protecting itself – and, more importantly, its customers – from cyber threats.
