Mobile Device Management

Our platform, Microsoft Endpoint Manager, extends beyond mere device management. It offers control over applications, data, and users for both personal and corporate devices, serving as an upgrade from traditional solutions like group policies, and collaborates with 365 features to ensure enterprise-grade security and control.

ThreatLocker Zero Trust

ThreatLocker employs industry-leading machine learning to understand the software applications your staff uses. This automated approach drastically reduces implementation time compared to other solutions requiring manual programming. After the ‘learning mode’, all unused applications are locked out, enhancing security.

Next Generation Antivirus

Our antivirus leverages AI and machine learning to detect behavioral changes. It identifies when staff members or their devices deviate from usual patterns and alerts an engineer.

Data Loss Prevention

This Microsoft 365 feature is designed to prevent confidential data from leaving your business, whether unintentionally or maliciously. You can specify rules using default options for common sensitive data or create bespoke rules for unique business data.

Next Generation Firewalls

A firewall acts as the first line of defense for your network against cyber threats. It inspects all incoming and outgoing traffic, checking for any malicious activity like unauthorised access or a virus.

Cloud Firewalls

We offer a cloud firewall service with all the benefits of a physical firewall, but hosted in the cloud. Connect via a transparent always-on VPN for a secure connection that doesn’t compromise your network speed.

 

Emerge Digital can also undertake a comprehensive cyber security assessment for your business, looking at your systems, data, and people, searching for non-conformances, problems, loopholes and flaws. We produce a report which provides actionable tasks to improve cyber security and aid data breach prevention in your business.

Looking for guidance on data breach prevention, and how you can keep your sensitive data secure? We’ve created a quick guide to get you started, where we detail four key cyber security solutions, so you can get a firm idea of where to begin with your cyber security investment. Here’s what we cover:

Data Breach Prevention Solutions

• Key data breach statistics, showing the reality of how SMEs are affected.
• An overview of four key data breach prevention solutions, covering security on data, device, and user levels.
• Information on how to get started with the implementation of data breach prevention solutions.

“Investing in preventative measures offers lower costs than remedial measures – which could also include regulatory fines.”

If you would like to explore our cyber security solutions in further depth, you can read the below website pages:

• Mobile Device Management
Our Mobile Device Management platform – Microsoft Endpoint Manager – provides a platform for managing more than just devices – you can control applications, data and users too, for both personal and corporate devices. It can be used to replace traditional solutions like group policies, and works with 365 features to provide enterprise-grade security and control.

• ThreatLocker Zero Trust
ThreatLocker Zero Trust security uses industry-leading machine learning, which learns what software applications staff use. This automated approach brings the implementation time down to a fraction of other solutions where you have to manually program the software. Once the ‘learning mode’ has been completed, the door is closed to anything which employees don’t use.

• Next Generation Antivirus
It works by using AI and machine learning to detect changes in behaviour. Humans follow predictable patterns – we generally work at a certain location at a certain time of day, and use a defined set of apps. Next Gen Antivirus detects where staff members or their computers are doing something unusual, and flag this behavioural change to an engineer.

• Data Loss Prevention
Data Loss Prevention is a Microsoft 365 feature designed to stop confidential data from leaving your business, whether that’s done accidentally or maliciously. You can specify rules on what data needs to be blocked by using default rules (for things like NI numbers or credit card numbers) or by creating bespoke rules for your business, like order numbers.

• Next Generation Firewalls
A firewall is a network security solution which acts as the first line of defense for your network against cyber threats. It’s the barrier that sits between the outside world and your internal network. It inspects all of the traffic as it passes through, opening up data packets to check for (and block) anything malicious – like somebody trying to access the network, or a virus.

• Cloud Firewalls
We can provide a cloud firewall as a service. A cloud firewall has all of the features of a physical one, but it’s hosted in the cloud. You can connect to the firewall via a transparent always-on VPN, giving you a secure connection without affecting the speed of your network infrastructure.

 

Emerge Digital can also undertake a comprehensive cyber security assessment for your business, looking at your systems, data, and people, searching for non-conformances, problems, loopholes and flaws. We produce a report which provides actionable tasks to improve cyber security and aid data breach prevention in your business.
