Cyber threats take many forms, with new risks emerging constantly. A layered approach to security is therefore essential to ensure ongoing protection. We deliver a multi-layered, full-stack security suite, with your setup tailored to your specific requirements.
Multi-layered protection as standard
Our security provision goes beyond industry standards to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data. As part of this approach, we include a number of services with all of our solutions, as standard:
Managed firewalls
Firewalls are a key part of any cyber defence strategy. A managed firewall is a service which places an essential level of security between your network and the internet. It filters all inbound traffic, allowing or blocking traffic based on pre-configured requirements.
Our solutions include a completely managed firewall service accompanied by a VPN, configured to detect and block any attempts to penetrate your system.
Data encryption
In order to shield your sensitive data from unauthorised access, whether from malicious threats or accidental breaches, our solutions include both database and file encryption.
DDoS defence
Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks overwhelm the target system with a large volume of fake traffic, making it slow or inaccessible to users. Our DDoS protection safeguards mission-critical infrastructure by detecting and diverting malicious traffic before it reaches your server. Suspicious connections are redirected to a scrubbing and filtering site, where harmful traffic is removed and legitimate requests are allowed through. Once cleaned, the traffic is routed back to your server, keeping services secure and available without disruption.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
We implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) as standard for all customers for enhanced access security. A single password is vulnerable to attacks – adding at least one additional layer of authentication significantly increases your system security, preventing unauthorised access to your data.
Secure access and communications
Securing access and communication channels is a critical part of safeguarding your infrastructure. Depending on your requirements, we offer additional managed services such as SSL certificate management and secure VPNs to strengthen your access and communication layers.
SSL certificate management
An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate protects your website by encrypting sensitive information such as usernames and passwords. Our team manages the entire process for you, from purchase and installation through to ongoing maintenance and renewal, so your certificates are always up to date without adding to your workload.
Managed VPN
A managed VPN encrypts traffic between remote users, offices or contractors, keeping communications private and secure. We can configure, monitor and maintain your VPN, so you gain the full security benefits without the overhead of managing it in-house. Read more about VPNs in our insight ‘What is a VPN?’.
Real-time threat monitoring and response
Detecting threats quickly and responding effectively is critical to minimising risk and downtime. Our real-time monitoring and response services cover every layer of your infrastructure, from networks and applications to individual endpoints, ensuring suspicious activity is identified and contained before it can cause disruption.
Antivirus software
Antivirus software provides the first layer of defence at the endpoint level, scanning for and blocking known threats such as viruses, spyware and adware. We offer lightweight, fast antivirus solutions that are continuously updated, helping to protect devices without affecting performance.
IDS and IPS
Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) are both options to monitor your systems for malicious traffic. IDS monitors for anomalies and vulnerabilities, and can be configured to alert you of any suspicious activity. IPS goes a step further, proactively blocking malicious traffic without needing intervention. We offer both IDS and IPS as part of our full-stack security suite depending on your needs – find out more in our insight ‘How IDS and IPS protect your infrastructure’.
EDR and MDR
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) provides continuous monitoring of endpoints, helping to identify unusual activity such as malware or ransomware and enabling rapid containment of threats. Managed Detection and Response (MDR) extends this by combining the technology with 24/7/365 monitoring from security experts, who investigate alerts, perform threat hunting, and support incident response. At Hyve, we offer both EDR and MDR services to give real-time visibility, faster remediation, and ongoing protection.
Active defence and vulnerability management
Active defence and vulnerability management is about finding and addressing weaknesses before they can be exploited. Our services combine penetration testing, vulnerability scanning and expert guidance to help strengthen the overall security of your systems.
Penetration testing
Our penetration testing services assess the security of your websites and applications by simulating real-world attacks. Our experts uncover vulnerabilities and provide a detailed report, enabling our team, or your developers, to fix issues quickly and strengthen overall protection.
Vulnerability scanning
Vulnerability scanning automatically analyses websites, applications and internal networks to identify weaknesses in code or configuration, reducing the risk of cybercriminals exploiting potential entry points. Our vulnerability scanning software checks for more than 7,000 risks, including OWASP Top 10 issues such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS), as well as misconfigurations, weak passwords, unpatched software, exposed databases and other vulnerabilities.
Patch management
Regular patching of software is crucial to fix bugs, close security vulnerabilities, and improve performance. We offer both infrastructure patch management, covering regular patching of infrastructure software, such as hypervisors, backup tools, and control panels, and operating system patch management.
The next steps to protect your infrastructure
Our full-stack security suite is designed to identify, prevent and respond to threats, helping you maintain compliance, minimise risk and keep your systems running securely.
Our security specialists are available to review your current setup, discuss your challenges and recommend the most effective measures for your environment.
