Howard Roberts, Chief Technology Officer at Arkphire, discusses our full end-to-end cybersecurity prevention solution at Ireland’s GDPR conference Dublin Data Sec 2018.
Cybersecurity is the top of the agenda for all companies in Ireland. A report from PwC on economic crime and fraud showed more than 10pc of Irish businesses that have been hit by cyber criminals lost more than €4m each in the past two years as a result of the attacks. Cybercrime is becoming more vicious and harder to combat. We now face everything from network-based ransomware worms to devastating wiper malware.
Arkphire acquired enterprise networking provider and Cisco Gold Partner, Bootstrap in 2016 to enable Arkphire to offer a full end-to-end security solution for Irish corporations. Arkphire provides a range of security services to secure our customers’ entire IT infrastructure from end user support to 24/7/365 managed security threat incident response. Our network operation centre (NOC) provides 24/7/365 management and support services to our customers’ end users and system infrastructure.
Arkphire partnered with world-leading SkOUT Secure Intelligence to to provide 24/7/365 security operations centre (SOC) and advanced cybersecurity services due to the lack of suitability qualified expertise in the EU market. This partnership brings the interface between the SOC and the NOC services for event monitoring, management and remediation of security events.
All security incidents are captured, tracked, escalated and managed to closure through the Arkphire service management system under the instruction from the Skout Secure Intelligence SOC. This ensures end-to-end visibility underpinned by industry leading validation and certifications.
