WHAT IS CYBERSECURITY?

Cybersecurity serves as the shield that defends your business from online dangers. It encompasses an array of technologies, processes, and practices crafted to protect your digital assets, including networks, devices, data, and systems, from cyberattacks and unauthorized entry. Picture it as your virtual guardian, actively safeguarding your business against hackers, malware, phishing scams, and other lurking cyber threats in the digital sphere. It functions as your digital stronghold, fortifying your online environment against unseen risks, much like a protective barrier for your computer, networks, and data, shielding them from cybercriminals aiming to exploit weaknesses.

Essentially, cybersecurity acts as your trusted guardian in the digital world, ensuring the safety and security of your information from unauthorized access, hackers, viruses, and other malicious intrusions.

Regulatory Compliance Strategy and Consulting

At Strong Connexions, cybersecurity is our top priority as we set up, configure, and install your systems. We ensure your business remains compliant with essential industry and location-specific regulations, protecting your operations and mitigating the impact of attacks and data breaches. Our expert team provides comprehensive assistance with government regulation compliance, including:

  • NIST 800-171: Is a set of guidelines developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in non-federal systems and organizations. This standard outlines specific security requirements and best practices for safeguarding CUI, ensuring its confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
  • Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC): Is a unified standard for implementing cybersecurity across the defense industrial base (DIB). It builds upon the foundation laid by NIST 800-171, expanding its requirements to ensure a higher level of cybersecurity maturity.
  • PCI-DSS: Is a set of security standards designed to ensure that all companies that accept, process, store, or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. Developed by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC), PCI-DSS aims to protect cardholder data from theft and fraud through a series of stringent requirements and best practices.
  • HIPAA: Is a United States federal law enacted to safeguard protected health information (PHI) and ensure its confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The primary goal of HIPAA is to protect patients’ sensitive health information from unauthorized access, use, and disclosure while allowing for the flow of health information needed to provide and coordinate healthcare.

Why Does Cybersecurity Matter?

In today’s hyper-connected business landscape, organizations of ALL sizes are prime targets for cybercriminals. In the absence of robust cybersecurity measures, your business becomes vulnerable to data breaches, financial losses, reputational harm, and legal ramifications.

Cyberattacks have the potential to disrupt operations, compromise sensitive data, and undermine customer trust, resulting in significant financial and reputational damage. By investing in cybersecurity, you’re not just safeguarding your financial bottom line; you’re also protecting your brand, reputation, and future growth prospects.
