What is Cyber Security?

Every organisation has the critical responsibility to protect their own corporate data containing sensitive personal information. In doing so, they must also protect the handling of their customer and partner data.

Personal information (PI) is information about an identified person or someone who is reasonably identifiable. Information that is not about an individual on its own may become PI when it is combined with other information resulting in an individual becoming ‘reasonably identifiable’.

In addition to our cyber security services, that form the security foundation of our managed IT Services, Epic IT provide additional cyber security services such as these below.

Frequently asked questions

Where do most cyber attacks start?

Email. Phishing and business email compromise account for the majority of successful attacks on Australian businesses. That is why email security and staff training are foundational.

Do small businesses really get attacked?

Yes. Small and medium businesses are targeted specifically because attackers know they often have weaker defences than large enterprises. The Australian Cyber Security Centre reports that SMBs are increasingly targeted.
