Cyber Security FAQs

Here are some answers to Frequently Asked Questions surrounding Cyber Security.

What is an antivirus and why is it necessary?

Antivirus software is an essential tool for protecting our devices from malicious viruses and other cyber threats. It works by scanning for known threats and blocking them before they can cause any damage. Antivirus software can also detect unknown threats, helping to keep our devices safe from new viruses and malware. By using an antivirus, we can ensure that our personal information, passwords, and other sensitive data remain secure.

What are the advantages of using an antivirus?

With the growing threat of malware and cyber attacks, protecting your computer from viruses is essential. Antivirus software is designed to detect, prevent, and remove malicious software, safeguarding your data and privacy. It blocks harmful websites, emails, downloads, and other potential sources of infection. By using antivirus software, you can secure your system from viruses and threats that could damage your computer. Additionally, it helps optimise performance by removing unnecessary files and programs that may slow down your system, ensuring smooth and efficient operation.

Are there any risks associated with not using an antivirus?

Yes, there are significant risks associated with not using antivirus software. Without it, systems become vulnerable to malicious software such as viruses, worms, Trojan horses, spyware, and adware. These threats can cause severe damage, including data loss, file corruption, and even complete system failure. Furthermore, not using antivirus increases the likelihood of falling victim to phishing attacks, which can lead to the theft of personal and financial information, putting your privacy and security at risk.

What type of antivirus should I use?

Antivirus software is a vital tool for protecting devices from malicious viruses and other cyber threats. It works by scanning for known threats and blocking them before they can cause any harm. In addition, antivirus software can detect unknown threats, helping to safeguard devices from new viruses and malware. By using antivirus software, we ensure that our personal information, passwords, and sensitive data remain secure, providing peace of mind in an increasingly digital world.

What is Cyber Essentials certification?

Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification scheme designed to help organizations protect themselves from cyber threats. It outlines a set of security controls and processes that businesses must implement to ensure their systems are secure. The certification enables organizations to assess their security posture, identify potential vulnerabilities, and take proactive steps to reduce associated risks. Achieving Cyber Essentials certification demonstrates a business’s commitment to safeguarding both its own operations and its customers from cyberattacks.

Benefits of having a Cyber Essentials certification?

Cyber Essentials is a government-backed certification that provides businesses with assurance that their IT systems are secure. By obtaining this certification, businesses can demonstrate to customers and partners that they are committed to cybersecurity.

The key benefits of Cyber Essentials certification include enhanced security, increased customer trust, stronger protection against cyber threats, and eligibility for government grants and tenders. It also helps businesses meet compliance requirements, including GDPR and ISO 27001.

For any organization seeking to protect its data and IT systems from cyber threats, Cyber Essentials certification is an essential step in ensuring security and compliance with industry regulations.
