Multi-Layered Security: It’s a Must!

July 21, 2021 by Edie Sabillon

 

As the world of computing and technology advances, cyber threats, data loss, and systems vulnerability also increases. That is why we recommend a series of measures that you can choose to protect your system and your valuable data.

ENDPOINT PROTECTION

More than your traditional signature/hash-based Anti-Virus, modern endpoint protection technologies provide behavior-based protections, sandbox-ing, forensic analysis, and more to help combat modern threats.

DON’T WAIT

Start protecting your organization from inevitable downtime today. Contact our team to discuss your options for total system protection, both onsite and in the Cloud.

PRIVILEGED ACCESS MANAGEMENT

In an age of cloud computing and SaaS services management of access is critical, whether it be a simple password vaulting solution or full-blown Identity management with Privileged Access Management, protection, and control of credentials are essential.

FILE-LEVEL BACKUP

Good file sync and share tool are more than just a way for your team to collaborate on the go, it’s a vital component of your organization’s security strategy. With file-level backup, you can ensure that your team can maintain anytime access to their critical files even in the event of a site-wide disaster.

SERVER LEVEL BACKUP

Your last line of defense in site-wide disaster, backup, and disaster recovery solutions allows you to recover at the systems level. A necessary piece of your organizational infrastructure, backup, and disaster recovery delivers peace of mind that your systems will always be recoverable, even when disaster strikes.

Better Backup Safer Data.

Security at-a-glance

ADVANCED PERSISTENT THREAT

Cybercriminals typically use an advanced persistent attack to target larger organizations. Often to solicit financial information. This type of attack can be executed over a long period of time and is difficult to detect.

FLOODING

In this security attack, hackers will send a large amount of data to a server or web location. The result is a break in the system’s proper operation, due to the utilization of all resources on the victim machine, crippling its processing power.

SOCIAL ENGINEERING

Social engineering uses psychological manipulation to persuade users to perform specific actions or reveal sensitive information. Lies, bribes, extortion, and impersonation are often used in this type of attack. This is often considered the most effective attack vector.

WORM

A worm is an attack that has the ability to spread itself indefinitely and self-replicate. By exploiting Operating System (OS) vulnerabilities. This replication happens automatically and does not need human activity to spread.

DISTRIBUTED DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACK

A DDoS attack is meant to prevent users from accessing specific systems or URLs online. In this attack, a cybercriminal will flood a website with large quantities of information requests, which look like legitimate requests from multiple sources, which essentially renders the site inaccessible to legitimate users while under attack.

BACKDOOR TROJAN

A backdoor Trojan allows cyber-criminals to take control of a system without permission. Posing as a legitimate program, a Trojan often spreads through phishing campaigns which fool users into accessing malware through everyday activities such as clicking links. Once the Trojan is installed it opens a “backdoor” to allow the malicious party access to the infected device.

    “Your search for an IT provider ends here. Our company was in the midst of a grueling search for a new IT provider as we were moving from a cloud server, to an in-house server when we were introduced to Paladin IT by a respected mutual colleague. We had started our search in November of 2016, went through countless meetings with other IT support companies in the area, and decided to sign on with Paladin in April of 2017 after having already worked with them for over a month outside of any signed contract. That’s right, Stan and Phil took the time to closely work with us as we had countless phone conferences with Dell to make sure we had all the hardware and software we needed without really knowing whether we were signing any agreements. That’s how much Stan and Phil care. Right from the start Paladin IT went above and beyond any expectations we had for any IT Services company.”

    “My past experiences with a number of IT service providers and Paladin IT have been night and day. Prior to signing on to Paladin’s Managed IT Service plan, we would have to wait days or even weeks for a problem to be resolved. With Paladin, my experience has been quite the opposite; they respond quickly and resolve our problems immediately or within a few hours. Whether we need remote support for a minor problem or a technician on-site to fix the problem, it is solved quickly and professionally. I highly recommend Paladin IT to anyone looking for a professional, responsive, and highly competent IT service provider for their business.”

    “Right from the start, they impressed me with their efficient, professional manner - an approach that not only inspired confidence, but generated the results I was looking for. I needed a quick, effective solution to computer issues at that moment and they were able to help me. Since then I have called upon them many times to render help – I can count on them, their follow-up and reasonable rates. If you are looking for a business “partner” that will be there when you need them, may I suggest you contact Paladin InfoTek.”

    “Paladin IT gave us a scaled version of Managed IT support which made sense both in terms of coverage and cost. I was very pleased with their responsiveness and attention to detail. Paladin also out-performed during our move from one facility to another. We did a walk through and they gave us a plan based upon our requirements. They hand held us through the move. We moved on a Thursday and Monday morning we were fully up and running, which was, all things considered, amazing. I recommend Phil and the rest of the Paladin IT team to anyone who needs Managed IT services. They are a great team providing excellent value.”

    “I was recently unable to access key files or perform a backup. I called and they came up with a solution to save my important data and all my applications prior to replacing the hard drive. A big ‘Thank You’ to Phil and his techs. I didn’t lose a single file, and I was able to get back to business in no time at all.”
