30 • INDUSTRYNEWS PROUD SPONSOR OF THE LOCKSMITH JOURNAL Mila Gets Cyber Safe LOCKSMITHS TURN TO LOCK LOCK AT EXPO » » BRISANT-SECURE HAD A great show at the tenth consecutive LockExpo, right next to the front door, where they were jammed with locksmiths all weekend looking at their 2 Star security handle, Lock Lock. There’s a trusted acceptance that once a locksmith has used Lock Lock and seen it in action, they want to use it again. LockLock is a secure lock and a beautiful handle in one unit. Bought with a key or without (the keyless version is perfect for doors that you never need to lock on the outside) an internal switch within the handle locks the door spindle. If the spindle can’t turn, the door will not open. Lock Lock is a non-handed TS007 2 Star handle. Brisant- Secure is so confident of Lock Lock’s performance, it comes with a 10 year direct- to-homeowner guarantee managed directly by Brisant. At 8,000 hours, Lock Lock lasted for over 30 times the accreditation requirement of 240 in a salt spray chamber. With two layers of copper and two layers of nickel, the registered curved design resists pitting. www.brisant-secure.com » » JUST WEEKS AFTER research was published by the BBC showing that a record 55% of UK firms have already faced a cyber-attack in 2019*, Mila has announced that it has achieved Cyber Essentials Plus Certification, giving its customers valuable reassurance about the security of its IT infrastructure. In line with the government backed Cyber Essentials scheme accredited by CREST, Mila’s entire internet facing infrastructure has now been successfully assessed – from its boundary firewalls and its access control, to its malware and anti-virus protection. Managing Director Richard Gyde said: “There’s a sense that it is only large scale corporations which are targeted, but this latest research shows that small and medium sized companies are just as vulnerable. Richard Gyde, Managing Director, Mila “As we’ve already seen in this industry, any kind of cyber-attack can have a significant impact on a company’s ability to service its customers properly. The average cost of a cyber-attack to UK businesses is £185,000, but the reputational damage can be even higher, so we’re determined to protect ourselves from that risk.” www.mila.co.uk *Research for Hiscox insurance reported by the BBC on 24 April 2019.
