Don't Get Hacked this Halloween

You and your organization need to harness technology and use it for nearly every piece of your business operations. Yet you likely don't have the same budget as large corporations. 

The same goes for IT security. But here's the scary part (especially on Halloween) -- hackers target small and medium-sized businesses. Don't assume you fly below the radar, because that's just not true anymore. 

Too many SMBs don't have the level of awareness they need to protect themselves, let alone the security layers that are critical. 

The goal of having seven layers is to ensure that if one fails the others are in play to catch the incursion before it causes problems

The seven levels identified by Apogee include:

  1. Mission Critical Assets  the part of the organization, product or service you are looking at securing
  2. Data Security  security controls in place to protect and monitor your data at rest and in transit
  3. Application Security  security controls and policies to protect access to your applications and how your applications access your data
  4. Endpoint Security  Controls to protect the connection between your computing devices and the network
  5. Network Security  Network controls and policies that protect your organizations network and prevent unauthorized access to your network and resources
  6. Perimeter Security  Physical and digital methodologies and policies that protect your overall organization
  7. The Human layer  Human security controls, policies and reporting that protect your critical assets from human threats

Apogee has built their business around designing systems and processes that create CERTAINTY around the security of their client’s IT technologies. They focus on delivering security solutions that protect client’s data, users, and connectivity as well as meet the compliance requirements of the business. They and their partners provide a level of expertise, tools, processes, and support that is dedicated to protecting against the rampage of attacks that threaten their business every minute of the day.

Apogee wants to bring that CERTAINTY to your business. So, for a limited time, we are offering a free assessment of the 7 layers of security. Apogee will review your current IT infrastructure, identify possible vulnerabilities, and provide you with the best course of action to create complete CERTAINTY around your business. Go to the 7 Layers page to request an assessment so that we can help you create a level of CERTAINTY that can help your business thrive.
