All businesses use at least one critical application in their organisation which is essential to their daily operation, examples include: CRM, financial software, stock control and logistics software and your company’s website.

Following on from last week’s mailer where we discussed the various phishing attacks which exist and how your organisation can defend against them, this article discusses the advantages of a multi layered approach to secure your organisation against phishing threats.

Phishing is a type of social engineering attack used to steal individual’s sensitive data such as login credentials and credit card data. Attackers masquerade as trusted entities and dupe their victims into opening malicious links which can lead to the target revealing sensitive information or malware being installed on their devices.

As SES grows, choosing to recruit apprentices for various roles within the business provides us with the opportunity to identify the best potential talent and provide them with the skills, knowledge and experience to fit the skills gaps in our organisation.

It is widely known that Software Escrow protects you against the trigger events such as supplier failure and enables you to retain access to your application and continue to use it until a time when a suitable replacement can be procured.

The Master Multi Licensee Agreement SES have created is designed to allow you to offer Software Escrow protection to all of your clients, regardless of the application or version that they are using and without having to pay additional setup fees.

Following on from last week’s article where we discussed the topic of Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As), retaining IP, key developer knowledge and how Software Escrow can help with the M&A process, we began thinking about the Cyber Security risks involved with these transactions.

The number of mergers and acquisitions being considered or in progress is on the rise. Only recently we have seen numerous acquisitions in the Financial, Technology and Pharmaceutical sectors, but what draws organisations to merge with or acquire one another and how can you protect your investment?

ISO: 9001 and ISO: 27001 certifications are fundamental to the way we operate here at SES, which is why we have just recertified both ISO: 9001 and ISO: 27001 certifications to the latest set of standards.

For nearly two decades, SES has constantly challenged ourselves to deliver innovative, industry leading solutions which exceed our customer’s expectations.

Traditional network security takes a positively medieval approach, building high castle walls and focusing on outward facing defences to keep attackers out of your network, but what happens when then they make it past your anti-virus and firewalls and breach your defences?

Many businesses utilise Software Escrow to protect their key licensed software applications, recognising the criticality and importance of these applications to their businesses, and understanding that securing access to them protects the future continuity of their organisation.
