Why Technology Companies and IT Providers Need to Strengthen Their Cybersecurity

Technology companies are particularly exposed to cyberattacks due to the nature of the data they manage and their connectivity to many other businesses and systems.

Only 20% of cyberattacks target large organizations, while the remaining 80% are aimed at random targets, including small and medium-sized technology companies. This means that even if you don’t see your company as a major target, you could still fall victim to a random attack.

Particular emphasis should be given to technology companies (i.e., those providing IT services and technical support) and companies that develop software and have developers. Attention is needed in this sector because these types of businesses, due to the nature of their work, configure their protection systems quite a bit so that programmers can do their job correctly, resulting in many security holes.

Technical support service providers, managed service providers, and IT providers are also very tempting targets for hackers. This is because IT service providers manage many end customers and have control over their systems, passwords, and access to remote support programs.

A hacker, if he manages to gain access to the systems of an IT provider, simultaneously gains access to dozens of other customers to carry out attacks. It is known that IT Providers often manage larger customers than their own infrastructure. Therefore, an IT provider must be regularly audited by a special security team and not be afraid of being exposed to external or internal audits. It is preferable to identify security gaps through a colleague from a third-party company (who performs the external audit) than to expose yourself to a hacker who will blackmail you.

In a cyberattack, hackers are not only looking for customer or personnel data. Still, they may also try to gain access to your customers and engage in valuable intellectual property, innovative technologies, and critical infrastructure that supports your technology services.

If they manage to gain access, they can destroy both data and backups. Information loss or breach can lead to serious financial and legal problems, including the loss of trust from your partners and customers.

The following TicTac Cyber ​​Security proposals offer specialized solutions that ensure the complete protection of your company from such threats.

1. SUGGESTIONS FOR TECHNICAL SUPPORT, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COMPANIES

1. Protection from Cyber ​​Attacks – Tech Cyber ​​Angel with Wiser

With the Tech Cyber ​​Angel subscription program, technology companies with small and medium-sized infrastructures can access protection services for their terminal devices through EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response) with human supervision, at a very preferential price.

The difference between an EDR service and a simple Antivirus is that EDR, in addition to the basic antivirus functions, offers advanced protection tools and supervision by specialized cybersecurity engineers. One of the most significant problems with using Antivirus software without special supervision is that hackers can easily bypass it, leaving your data exposed.

For even greater protection, TicTac’s Wiser platform offers online cybersecurity training programs for you and all your employees. Using modern software with animation videos and automated Phishing Tests, the understanding of the basic principles of cybersecurity is ensured, while Reporting and Certification are also provided, enhancing the knowledge and preparedness of your staff against cyber threats.

2. Backup & Disaster Recovery – Tech Business Continuity

Due to their heavy reliance on data and infrastructure, technology companies are at increased risk in the event of data loss. Unfortunately, many businesses still rely on inadequate backup systems, such as external hard drives or local servers, which cannot be adequately protected from modern cyberattacks.

Today, hackers, in 95% of cases, target backups first before destroying active data.

For this reason, TicTac uses the Acronis service, which allows backups to be created in the Cloud or locally and protects them from ransomware attacks and encryption.

In the event of a business data disaster, the ability to recover the Server and its data in the Cloud within 30 minutes is provided.

3. Incident Response & Cyber Insurance Retainer

While systems like EDR and Cloud Backup offer protection, they cannot prevent all persistent cyberattacks. If a hacker decides to target an organization and has enough time, they will likely break into the network, causing serious problems for your company’s operations.

For such cases, TicTac’s Incident Response & Cyber ​​Insurance Retainer program provides insurance coverage for cyber attacks and immediate intervention of cybersecurity engineers whenever you need them. In the event of a critical situation, TicTac’s team intervenes remotely within 1 hour and physically within 24 hours to restore the problem.

The program also includes insurance coverage up to €1,000,000 for technical and legal services and business interruption costs, offering financial protection to your business in the event of a cyberattack.

4. Cybersecurity Audit and Business Continuity Recovery Plan

This is a series of audits involving a cybersecurity and business continuity audit exercise that is recommended to be carried out annually in every organization. During this exercise, we discover vulnerabilities in the external and internal perimeter of the organization, as well as the speed or ability to recover from a cyberattack. All protection systems are also checked for their effectiveness.

More specifically, the services provided are the following:

1. External Whitebox Penetration Testing
   After providing us with basic information about your infrastructure (IP addresses), our team will perform a test to determine how easy it is for a third party to penetrate your infrastructure.
2. Risk Assessment
   Our team will review your backup practices, disaster recovery time, and endpoint policies, and recommend improvement steps. We will also review the existence of logs (Firewall, access logs, etc.) and conduct a formal audit to determine if there are any signs of a breach in your organization on your endpoints and servers.
3. Private – Cybersecurity Training for Staff
   In a 4-hour seminar, we train your staff on the new ways that malicious users exploit technology to break into accounts and gain access to corporate or personal data, along with best practices for avoiding them.

5. Firewall & Management

The Firewall is an essential infrastructure control element, as it is the contact between an organization’s internal network and the outside world. It controls what enters and exits our network in terms of connections and data, thus increasing the protection of our network from external malicious users. It also allows us to segment our network so that if a cyberattack occurs, we can limit the damage.

ATTENTION: Many people buy and install a firewall, but no one supervises it. Therefore, it has no meaningful participation in protecting the network.

John Lekkas

Great experience on a really hard case, 100% recovery success from raid0 SSDs. Friendly and professional.Highly recommended

Mike Smith

Professor

Tic Tac Data Recovery provided a very good and professional service. The damaged hard drive was given to two specialists data recovery companies in the UK who could not recover any data. (Note: these two UK companies carry out both forensic and security work)

Well done Tic Tac for a good job!

Ιδιώτης

Top-notch professionals, guaranteed quality of service… they managed to recover 100% of the files from my Kingston SSD laptop drive. I had lost years’ worth of work documents and all my photos. The drive wasn’t showing up anywhere and my laptop would freeze at startup.

I had taken it to two or three technicians who told me there was no hope of recovery – and that’s when they recommended TicTac. I left the drive with them for diagnosis, and within three days I was fully informed about which files could be recovered. In just 2 days, I had everything back — intact. I’m incredibly grateful…
