Cyber Security
Cyber security is a necessity for any business
operating in the digital world. Whether you’re a
small start-up or a large corporation, Glo can help
you protect your data, your systems, and your
reputation from cyber threats.
Understanding cyber security
Cyber security has become a crucial issue for the whole business, not just IT. Protecting your digital assets – your data, networks, and computer systems – from cyber threats like malware, phishing, and ransomware attacks is critical in today's digitally connected society.
In fact, the impact of a cyber attack can devastate a business, resulting in everything from financial loss to brand and reputational damage, and from loss of customer trust to legal consequences. So understanding and investing in cyber security is about more than merely safeguarding your IT infrastructure, it's about protecting the future of your business.
Many IT companies offer CE and CE Plus packages at seemingly low prices, but these often come with hidden costs and drawbacks:
Implementation Costs: Low-cost packages frequently exclude the time and effort required to implement necessary changes for compliance.
Superficial Compliance: Some providers focus solely on obtaining the certification badge without genuinely improving your security.
Inconsistent Support: These companies may only check for compliance at renewal time, leaving your business vulnerable throughout the year.
