Why is Cyber Security Services Important to a Business
In today’s digital economy, cyber security is not just an IT issue—it’s a business-critical priority. From customer data to financial records, businesses handle vast amounts of sensitive information that must be protected from cyber threats.
Common threats to businesses include:
- Ransomware attacks that lock critical systems
- Phishing scams targeting employees
- Data breaches that expose customer information
- Insider threats from current or former staff
A strong cyber security posture includes:
- Firewalls and antivirus software
- Employee training and awareness
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
- Regular security audits and updates
The growing threat landscape is also becoming more apparent with an average of four in ten businesses (39%) and a quarter of charities (26%) reporting a cyber security breach or an attack in the last 12 months. Many of these victims never get their original data back.
Why are firewalls important?
The importance of cyber security services is becoming more commonly recognised with hacks and cyber threats occurring more frequently – 2020 saw an exponential increase of remote working and Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD) being introduced in to business settings, much of which has occurred in unplanned, unaudited ways.
The necessity of using modern up to date firewalls to guard against unauthorised access became one of the first lines of defence in a battle with the hackers and “Bad Actors” who continue to attempt to gain access to your PC/devices and the data it has access to.
Having a modern, properly configured, maintained, and monitored ICT firewall will provide a level of assurance that your data, network and devices are protected – whilst also providing more control and information about your network and who’s accessing it.
Backup – Your Business’s Cyber Security Services Safety Net
Remember the last important file or email you lost? That feeling of wishing you had a copy? Imagine that happening to every file, image and program your business owns… Would you be able to continue to trade, report results or file taxes? Just because it’s ”in the cloud” doesn’t negate the problem. You can lose data just as easily in the cloud as on terra firma.
Data loss can cripple a business. Whether it’s due to a cyberattack, hardware failure, or human error, the consequences can be severe – lost revenue, damaged reputation, and legal liabilities.
That’s why regular, automated backups are essential. Businesses should:
- Use redundant backup systems (on-site and cloud-based)
- Schedule frequent backups of critical systems and data
- Encrypt backup data to prevent unauthorized access
- Store backups in geographically separate locations

How Vissensa Can Elevate Your Cyber Security Services
Microsoft 365 Cyber Security Services
Microsoft 365 has become widely recognised for introducing teamwork and collaboration to the workplace with new tools to cater for a Hybrid way of working.
With greater collaboration comes a higher level of risk around data protection and security of staff access and devices used. From Email Protection that helps your business stay in control with email filtering and advanced scanning and quarantining of suspected phishing attacks and malware threats through to backups of your tenancy to protect your data.
Microsoft 365 Backups
Microsoft 365 provides a range of powerful services within the Office 365 suite of products – but backing up your data is not one of them. Over a number of surveys run by our vendors, statistics generally show that more than 60% of businesses without a comprehensive backup process have lost data – from simple user error to major data security incident where data is locked or no longer available.
Investing in a backup process won’t make your business any more profitable, but will in the event that data is inaccessible, ensure a data backup plan is in place so that it is possible to quickly recover, and restart your business.
Microsoft 365 backup from Vissensa overcomes the effects of data loss from cyber security incidents, loss of cloud services or on-premise infrastructure or accidental deletion. Our plans take account of how backups will be recovered, sometimes to different platforms or geographical locations, ensuring the recovery of your key files in the shortest timeframe possible.
