Cybersecurity – is your business exposed? Telecommunications companies, or telcos, have been at the forefront of connecting people across the world for decades. One of the most amazing things about this industry is that it provides essential connectivity service to every segment of society – from consumers to large enterprises, playing a crucial role in the digital revolution. However, the rapid evolution of technology and the ever-increasing threat of cyberattacks have meant that like many other businesses, we have had to adapt and evolve to the changing landscape. At JT we are no longer simply providers of communication services; we are also expert Managed Service Providers (MSPs) offering effective cybersecurity solutions for businesses large and small. The increasing number of cyber threats, the adoption of cloud technology, and the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) have all contributed to the need for specialised cybersecurity solutions. But what’s really driven the change in our business is the growing demand for managed services which offer a more cost-effective and streamlined approach to IT management.
“Training people on the importance of cybersecurity and the latest updates to your security processes can help mitigate risks to your IT infrastructure, user data, intellectual property, and more.”
Managing cybersecurity is one of the most critical aspects of running a business today, no matter how large or small. Anyone can fall victim to a cyberattack, and the results can be disastrous. However, creating a robust plan for your business is no small task — it requires a multi-pronged approach to ensure the best possible protection.

Technical security measures Creating a cybersecurity system that incorporates twofactor authentication, network activity monitoring,
and firewalls will help build a strong foundation. Businesses can set up technical security measures inhouse or enlist the help of third-party experts to assist with implementation, regular reviews and testing. Digital risk protection Don’t neglect internal weaknesses. Digital risk protection (DRP) is a service that monitors the clear, deep and dark web for historic and newly breached data. It uses a combination of tools designed to monitor your data across the web and defend your digital assets, focussing on detecting, preventing, and responding to cyber threats by monitoring for:
• Data leaks • Account takeovers • Fraud campaigns Culture of security Beyond strengthening your digital defences, businesses need to keep cybersecurity training and awareness front of mind. We’re all human, and mistakes will happen, but training people on the importance of cybersecurity and the latest updates to your security processes can help mitigate risks to your IT infrastructure, user data, intellectual property, and more. Putting privacy first Finally, it’s vital to make privacy a priority. By the end of 2023, modern data privacy laws will cover the personal information of 75% of the world’s population. That means businesses must find ways to protect their customers’ data privacy at every step. Staying compliant with changing privacy regulations can be a challenge, but it can help you protect your customers and your reputation.
