Baking Cyber Security into Web Development
As experts in web development, web marketing and IT solutions, HBS Consultants wanted to protect clients from cyber attacks by providing them with a proactive, intelligent and PCI compliant security solution. To achieve this they turned to Foregenix.
The Challenge
Cybercrime costs businesses across the globe an estimated £265bn* and in the UK alone, 93% of large corporations and 87% of small businesses reported a cyber-breach in the past year.
As specialists in web development, web marketing and IT solutions for the past 21 years, HBS Consultants had recognised the rapidly-growing-and-changing threatscape for online businesses and had been searching for effective web security solutions to complement the host of services that they provide their clients. Finding that most security solutions are complex, expensive and focused towards large corporates with strong security skills, HBS Consultants turned to Foregenix as a security specialist partner to improve the security expertise offered to their clients.
The Solution
Whilst website security has always been considered a priority for their clients, the growth in the business, coupled with the increasingly threatening attacks being reported, led HBS Consultants to partner with security specialists to bolster their service offering to their clients. With a client base of small, medium and large organisations, HBS was looking for an enterprise-grade security solution that could scale easily to protect all of their clients, at a reasonable cost.
Foregenix FGX-Web Protect was seamlessly integrated into the HBS platform, providing enterprise-grade security with simplified management for HBS Consultants’ clients. The proactive technology provides round the clock monitoring and protection, enabling websites to do business with the confidence their customer data is secure from the threat of hackers.
