Borderless CS Launches IT Hardening Service to Strengthen Cybersecurity and Stop Risks

Have you ever thought there are just so many new tricks for hackers to find? You fix one aspect in your computer systems and there is another unknown attack vector. So, I felt the timing was perfect for the new step from Borderless CS. They will have a new IT hardening service to assist in making your computer systems more resilient against attacks.

What is IT hardening?​

Think of IT hardening as locking up all your doors and windows in your home. Hackers do not necessarily come in through the front door. They can often find little openings—old software, weak passwords, default configurations that no one has evaluated. Hardening closes those access points, making it more difficult for hackers to get access to your computer systems.

Borderless CS is doing this because cyberattacks are everywhere. From viruses to ransomware; there is always a risk. Even just one mishap can cost a business a significant amount of money.

What Borderless CS offers​

So, here is what their new service includes:

• Better settings to ensure systems are not by default unsecured.
• Regular scans to find issues ahead of hackers.
• Strong policies for staff to follow to ensure correct safe processes are followed.
• Automation to react quickly to changes, while taking the work out of human intervention.

What’s fortunate? It can’t be complex. Due to the complexity of most tools in the market today, we came up with something straightforward and easy to use.

Why is that even important?​

Borderless CS is practical and easy. You know when you stick a program on your computer and it feels like you need a 200-page document to learn how to get started? No one has time for that.

Also, the automation piece helps tremendously. Security is typically very time and energy-consuming, but leveraging automation reduces some of the burdens on IT staff and lessens their overall stress.

The overall picture​

Let's be clear: No system is ever truly 100% safe. Hackers are always developing new ways of compromising systems. However, IT hardening will allow businesses to close the easy doors making further strong attacks very difficult. This is what Borderless CS seeks to deliver.

Conclusion​

Cybersecurity can often feel like a game without an end - between hackers and defenders. However, things like this provide businesses with a legitimate chance to be more secure. Wouldn't you rather lock your digital doors now, instead of waiting for hackers to open them?
