Cyber Security
The digital world is dangerous, make sure you are protected
The most significant risk to any business is the permanent loss of digital business data from ‘cyber attacks’ (hacks and malicious software) or human error. A data-driven business with poor cyber security is like a shopkeeper who leaves their doors wide open overnight.
Cyber security mitigates risks to digital information assets. It’s the practice of having systems in place to prevent cyber attacks and accidents or reduce the impact of problems as they arise. It is a multi-layered, evolving process, as the realm of IT and data sharing becomes increasingly more sophisticated and complex.
Think Concepts provides comprehensive cyber security for your network and devices. Our cyber security software protects your network and prevents intruders from gaining access. We also keep your team safe from spam, phishing, harmful web content, and other online security threats.
We take data security very seriously and have a range of cyber products to protect your business.

Dark Web ID
This product scours the internet for compromised valuable and sensitive data relating to your organisation, and notifies us immediately before it can be used for identity theft, leaks, or cyber attacks. Read more here.
Cyber security training
Our consultants can either come to your desired location or host online training with your team. These interactive sessions help teams to build awareness and assist in reducing risk for an organisation. The sessions cover an overview of common types of cyber crime, what to avoid and preemptive measures, what to do if a threat does appear, and a question and answer session.
Phishing simulation
Working with your specifications, we create a campaign of fake emails to be sent out over an agreed period of time. Through email-tracking, we can establish the actions of the recipients (such as who opened emails, clicked links, or submitted data) in order to show which recipients may need further training.
ThinkAhead
ThinkAhead is our proactive health monitoring service that identifies changes in system health, allowing us in some instances to notify you before they turn into downtime. We also scan for vulnerabilities and ensure patches are applied to keep your computers secure and up to date.
ThinkSafe
ThinkSafe is an onsite or offsite back-up solution to protect your machines from data loss due to malware, ransomware, accidental file deletions, and hardware failures.
PassPortal
Password Manager
PassPortal's secure password management platform allows you to generate, store and automatically populate strong, frequently updated passwords but never have to remember them!

Frequently asked questions about cyber security
Q: What are the most common cyber security issues? +
A: There are a wide range of cyber security threats to your business. The most common issue we see are:
Hackers
Hackers break through digital security barriers to access data. These privacy breaches can be devastating, especially if your business has information valuable to ransom, sell, or use to target scams to your customer database. Hackers could also access your financial details and even empty your bank account.
Phishing emails and malware
91% of targeted cyber attacks are spear phishing scams, where seemingly legitimate emails cause malware (malicious software) to be downloaded onto the user’s device. Malware gives attackers a foothold in the business data from which they can search for valuable information or cause irreversible damage to the device and company system.
Extortion via Ransomware
Ransomware is software set to freeze your systems. It is usually accidentally downloaded through malicious web-links. Hackers then threaten to destroy company data through encryption if ransoms are not paid.
Internal security
We can track the movement of sensitive data to prevent security breaches that can occur when an employee leaves the company. Our Data Leak Prevention software can limit data access to only current employees.
Unintentional employee error
Unintentional error is probably the most common cause of network disruption and is often caused by devices that are not configured properly.
Lost or stolen devices
If an employee loses their smartphone or laptop, sensitive business data can be at risk. It is best to ensure there are protocols and software in place to cancel password access or remotely erase data if necessary.
Q: Why do I need cyber security services? +

Loss of consumer trust and business reputation

Disabling of online services and company websites
