Democratising Cyber Security

In today’s digital age, Cyber security isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a daily reality, one that concerns us all. Probably many of you reading this have attended numerous events and read extensively about it. More importantly, I hope, a good number of you, like us at Melita, are actively doing something about it.

As a business, we of course have processes to ensure our cyber security internally. However, we have thousands of clients, all of whom face a myriad of cyber threats that emerge from the internet daily. And as their internet provider, our clients ask us for help and support in understanding and dealing with cyber threats.

When it comes to cyber security, there is no magic wand that will banish all gremlins and goblins to the furthest reach of cyber space, nor is there a magic box that we can install for you and act as an all-encompassing, all powerful firewall or protective bubble – cybercrimes change and evolve, cyber security measures need to be adaptable.

Understanding Melita’s Cybersecurity Framework

Our approach to cybersecurity is multifaceted, emphasising the necessity of an ongoing, comprehensive process that includes multiple specialisations:

Risk Assessment: identifying potential threats and vulnerabilities within our network and our clients’ systems.
Processes and Procedures: establishing robust protocols and measures to mitigate identified risks.
Internal and External Audits: regularly reviewing and refining security measures to ensure compliance and effectiveness.
Hardware and Services: implementing and maintaining cutting-edge technology solutions tailored to specific security needs.
Reporting and Training: providing detailed reports and continuous training to enhance the security skills of our stakeholders.
Regulations: ensuring all operations align with national and international cybersecurity regulations.

Leveraging Industry-Leading Technologies

Our cyber security solutions now include leading technologies from Google Cloud. Google SecOps excels in security and threat analysis by leveraging massive data and machine learning to detect and respond to threats swiftly. Its capabilities are instrumental in our ability to offer scalable, effective cybersecurity solutions.

We have complete confidence in the value of this service because we use it ourselves. We know it is easy to implement, we know it works and we know that it provides a swift return on investment.

Importantly these are open solutions; they can be leveraged by our partners, such as Systems Integrators, enhancing operational flexibility in such a way that our clients can enjoy the benefits with minimal upheaval or changes to the way they currently operate their IT.

Additionally, our solution is totally scalable, so that it can accommodate the diverse needs of our clients, regardless of their size or sector. That’s what I mean by democratising cyber security; businesses clients like hairdressers or small offices can implement effective cyber security measures for a fraction of the cost of a cup of coffee a day – in fact closer to the cost of cup of coffee a week.
