The good news is that most protection is free - you just need to set aside some time to switch it on for your family.

Why your Cyber Security should be like an Onion
It may seem a crazy thing to compare Cyber Security to an onion to the average person, but as an IT Specialist you’ll know the best way is to create a multi-layered approach - if one layer is compromised there's anothersecure one underneath.
At It Naturally we believe it’s the only way to ensure your business is as secure as possible. So what makes up those layers?
So, what kind of security solutions should you be implementing to achieve multiple layers of security?
Firewalls and Intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS): These systems act as gatekeepers - monitoring network activity in real time - and can detect and prevent cyberattacks before they can cause any harm.
Antivirus software: Endpoint Protection is designed to detect and remove malicious software, including viruses, Trojans, and spyware.
Email security: Email is one of the most common ways that cybercriminals attempt to compromise a system. Email security solutions like spam filters and email encryption help protect against email-borne threats such as phishing.
Data encryption: Encrypting sensitive data makes it much harder for an attacker to access it, even if they do manage to penetrate your systems.
By picking the most comprehensive and up-to-date solutions (i.e. Next-Gen firewalls and security solutions using AI like IRONSCALES ) you can further enhance security and reduce any associated overheads.
