EXCALIBUR - TECHNOLOGY
Communications and IT for Business

It’s more important than
ever to protect your
business data.
As a minimum, you should have the
following elements covered to protect
your data…
Device Management
Mobiles, tablets, laptops, if these
were to become lost or stolen you
need a back-up plan. Passcodes are
a minimum requirement but remote
wiping is a better solution.

Security & Protection
The modern business is a place where machines, people,
information and ideas cross boundaries and connect. While this
is great news for productivity and collaboration, it presents huge
security risks. From network & device security and proactive
monitoring, to anti-virus and encryption. With just over 20 years
in the industry, we’ve seen security threats and challenges evolve
and increase in number, especially with ‘Bring your Own Device’
(BYOD) popular in a lot of workplaces.
Educating employees as to the potential risks out there and what
they can do to help is a must, but Excalibur can offer you the
advice and implement solutions to fully protect what’s yours.

Anti-virus Protection
Protect your business against email
threats and make sure it’s always up to
date.

96%

Anti-Spam
On average 60% of all emails are spam,
one click on a malicious link is all it
takes to bring down a network.
Web Filtering
Identifying suspicious URL’s and
unsecure
websites
is
essential
when employees are browsing and
purchasing online.
Backup and Disaster Recovery
Plan for the worst and then you’re
always covered. Mitigate the risk and
minimise potential repercussions.
