Cyber Security

Today we are investing more and more time and money in systems automation, collaboration software and deploying technology across our group to protect our computers.

The internet of things connecting the computers, network, smart machine technology, RFID and NFC access and, now, software and the Cloud, mean we need to be sure all of these activities are seamless and secure.

Under development are voice recognition, fingerprint or eye access to data, streaming, tracking.  The onslaught from outside is never going to stop and we have to remain one step ahead.  Think that between every connected device lies a potential cyber security risk.  At PPi Technologies GROUP we have 50 cell phones, 40 in house computers, 18 offsite home computers all linked to other computers and the web.

Considering the consequences of even a single security breach in just one of these links, means we can no longer consider cyber security as an afterthought.

We are developing authentication, authorization and accountability at each access point.  There is no silver bullet; only continued upgrades and learning from the attempts to enter our system.  The decision is clear: remain vigilant 100% of the time.
