Bolstering Corporate Cybersecurity Through CISO-as-a-Service
In today's fast-paced digital landscape, cybersecurity often feels like a significant drain on internal resources, leaving many businesses struggling to develop a comprehensive cyber strategy that supports all organisational activities. But what if there was a solution to this challenge?
Could CISO-as-a-Service be the game-changer you've been searching for?
Preparing to Fail in Cybersecurity
According to the UK government, a staggering 50% of businesses faced cyber attacks in 2023. In our latest article, Managing Director Ian McGowan delves into the importance of proactive preparation to fortify your organisation's defenses.
Ever wondered how critical infrastructure protects its IT and OT assets from cyber threats?
Learn how Barrier enhanced cybersecurity defences for Dounreay Site Restoration Limited (DSRL)—a leading UK nuclear research site during its decommissioning process.
DSRL faced significant cybersecurity challenges with outdated file security systems that required manual scanning, limited threat detection, and time-consuming file validation. By adopting OPSWAT MetaDefender, we helped improve their file security, allowing faster detection and removal of potential threats.
At Barrier, we specialise in protecting Operational Technology for industries that need robust cyber defences. From initial assessments to deploying cutting-edge technology, we’ve got you covered.
