What is EDR and How Does it Work?
EDR, or Endpoint Detection and Response, is a cybersecurity solution used by Net Friends to protect client networks from cyberattacks.
Why do small businesses need cybersecurity strategy?
Small businesses often face significant cybersecurity challenges due to limited resources and expertise. Without a well-thought-out plan, many adopt security measures that are inadequate or misaligned with their specific needs and risks.
How does NetSafe® MDR protect my log-in credentials?
Don't let compromised cloud credentials be your biggest security risk. NetSafe® MDR provides proactive protection for user identities in platforms like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Our 24x7 Security Operations Center (SOC) combines powerful technology with human-led expertise to detect and shut down identity-based attacks before they have a chance to take hold.
What happens if NetSafe® MDR finds a threat?
When NetSafe® Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service finds a threat, a human-led Security Operations Center (SOC) team takes immediate action on your behalf. This is a key differentiator from some service providers, which may only send an alert and leave the response to the user.
How is NetSafe® MDR implemented?
NetSafe® MDR is a cybersecurity tool that protects a company's network and devices. The implementation is designed to be seamless. It runs in the background and will not disrupt PC users at all. Mac users will receive a notification that the service has been installed, but otherwise, the process is completely invisible to the end user.
How Does NetSafe® MDR Evaluate Threats?
To assess threats, NetSafe® MDR analyzes all activity on your devices. It uses AI to differentiate between legitimate and suspicious actions, moving them through a progressively more intense evaluation process.
What is Continuous Vulnerability Scanning?
Continuous vulnerability scanning is an automated, real-time process that constantly identifies and addresses security weaknesses on your server. Unlike periodic scans, it provides always-on vigilance, which allows for immediate detection and remediation of new vulnerabilities as they emerge.
What happens after I sign up for NetSafe ID?
Sign up and you're all set. We'll send a welcome email to your team explaining what's coming, then the training emails start rolling out. Your only job? Check the reports to see who's participating.
Why Do I Need NetSafe ID?
Modern attackers rarely bother breaking through firewalls anymore. They just log in. Using social engineering and stolen credentials, they move through systems looking completely legitimate, and a recent report found that 82% of detected intrusions left no malware behind at all. NetSafe ID gives your team the tools to spot bad actors before they gain access, or quickly after they do.
Are phishing simulations included?
Yes! Phishing simulations are a core feature of NetSafe ID, not an add-on or afterthought. They are included because no amount of policy documentation or annual security training comes close to the real-world impact of hands-on practice.
Common Ways Attackers Compromise Small Businesses
Small businesses face a myriad of cyber threats, ranging from phishing and malware to ransomware and social engineering. Net Friends fortifies your business against these dangers: with phishing and smishing protection, malware defense, ransomeware recovery, Business Email Compromise (BEC) prevention, insider threat mitigation, and unintentional data disclosure reduction.
How Does Net Friends Protect Me from Cyberattacks?
The Net Friends approach to keeping businesses safe against cyberattacks follows the Safe Networks Philosophy, which is underpinned by the People, Process, and Technology (PPT) Framework. This approach begins with selecting the right Tech Stack. Additionally, we use vendor training for our IT experts to ensure they are on par with best practice processes for the specific software or tools.
What is SOC 2 Type II Attestation?
SOC 2 Type II audit was developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and verifies that we maintain effective security controls consistently over an extended period. This audit evaluates how well our controls operate in practice, ensuring continuous reliability and integrity.
Is Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) Safe?
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a widely used tool for controlling computers remotely, particularly on Windows systems. It is important to use RDP with caution due to potential security vulnerabilities.
What are Types of Security Assessment?
Managed Service Providers (MSPs) like Net Friends offer a suite of security assessments, each designed to uncover and address different facets of cybersecurity vulnerabilities such as Risk Assessment, Vulnerability Scans, and Penetration Tests (Pen Tests).
Why Should My Business Perform A Risk Assessment?
A Risk Assessment is a comprehensive analysis that searches for potential threats and vulnerabilities within your systems. This evaluation plays a vital role in developing a robust cybersecurity strategy for your organization.
Why Should My Business Have a Penetration Test (PenTest)?
A Penetration Test (PenTest) is vital for businesses to identify and strengthen vulnerabilities in their computer systems. It involves a simulated cyberattack by experts using real-world tactics to uncover weak points where attackers could gain unauthorized access.
Why Should My Business Perform Vulnerability Scanning (VulScan)
Vulnerability Scanning (VulScan) is essential for businesses as it identifies weaknesses in your technology assets by scanning devices and software versions. This process results in a report highlighting vulnerabilities, helping businesses mitigate the risk of security incidents through timely updates and configurations.
Why Should You Perform a Risk Assessment?
Performing a Risk Assessment is not just a preventative measure; it is a strategic approach to supporting a secure, compliant, and efficient IT infrastructure. Read more for the key reasons for performing a Risk Assessment.
Why Monitor Server Changes?
Actively monitoring your servers allows Net Friends to proactively address issues, improve security, and ensure the smooth operation of your IT infrastructure.
