Cyber Security for your Business

At Vector we have been working to working to improve our own cyber security posture, including achieving Cyber Essentials Plus certification.

This is a UK government-backed certification scheme that helps organisations protect themselves against common cyber threats. It sets out five key technical controls that, when properly implemented, defend against around 80% of common cyber attacks.

It is managed by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and delivered through accredited certification bodies.

What is Cyber Essentials Plus?

Cyber Essentials Plus is the highest level of certification offered under the Cyber Essentials scheme.It is a more rigorous test of your organisation’s cyber security systems where our cyber security experts carry out vulnerability tests to make sure that your organisation is protected against basic hacking and phishing attacks.

What Is Ransomware?

Ransomware is a type of malicious software that locks or encrypts your files and systems, holding them hostage until a ransom is paid – often in cryptocurrency. Attackers may also threaten to leak stolen data if the ransom isn’t met.

How to Reduce Your Risk

  • Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) – Especially for remote and admin access

  • Keep Systems Updated – Regularly patch software and operating systems

  • Back Up Data Regularly – Keep backups offline and test them

  • Train Staff – Help employees spot phishing emails and suspicious links

  • Use Security Tools – Deploy Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions

  • Restrict Access – Limit privileged accounts and use formal password reset processes
