What is Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials is an effective, Government backed scheme that will help you to protect your organisation, whatever its size, against a whole range of the most common cyber attacks.
Cyber attacks come in many shapes and sizes, but the vast majority are very basic in nature, carried out by relatively unskilled individuals. They’re the digital equivalent of a thief trying your front door to see if it’s unlocked. Our advice is designed to prevent these attacks.
There are two levels of certification:
Cyber Essentials
Our self-assessment option gives you protection against a wide variety of the most common cyber attacks. This is important because vulnerability to basic attacks can mark you out as target for more in-depth unwanted attention from cyber criminals and others.
Certification gives you peace of mind that your defences will protect against the vast majority of common cyber attacks simply because these attacks are looking for targets which do not have the Cyber Essentials technical controls in place.
Cyber Essentials shows you how to address those basics and prevent the most common attacks.
Cyber Essentials Plus
Cyber Essentials Plus still has the Cyber Essentials trademark simplicity of approach, and the protections you need to put in place are the same, but for Cyber Essentials Plus a hands-on technical verification is carried out.
Alternatively you can familiarise yourself with cyber security terminology, gaining enough knowledge to begin securing your IT.

Why choose FirstNet Direct to support your Cloud Services?
Cloud computing systems can be difficult to understand. There is Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) all of which can be confusing enough! We want to make it as easy as possible for you, which is why we have covered all angles. If you’re thinking whether you should go for SaaS applications or a server on site, which could be hosted private or public cloud, or even a Virtual Machine with IaaS, we’re here to help.
We are sure you have already considered how the cloud can fit into your company’s IT strategy – however it can often be difficult to know where to start. Let us help to create a strategy that works for you and implement the cloud as part of your IT needs.
