Cyber Security
Cyber Security Services for Modern Businesses
Cyber security has become a critical business priority. Over the past few years, the number of organisations experiencing a cyber security incident has risen significantly, with almost a third of UK businesses reporting a cyber attack within the last 12 months. In reality, this figure is widely believed to be under reported, as many incidents go undisclosed.
Historically, cyber security threats were often short term and disruptive rather than destructive. Attacks such as website defacement or denial of service (DDoS) incidents typically caused limited downtime before services were restored. Today, the threat landscape has evolved. Ransomware is now one of the most prevalent and damaging forms of cyber attack, frequently resulting in prolonged outages that can last for weeks or even months, causing significant operational, financial, and reputational damage.
A Layered Approach to Cyber Security
There is no single cyber security solution that can protect against every threat. Effective protection starts with understanding the specific risks facing your organisation and designing a strategy that addresses those risks in a targeted, practical way. This includes not only preventing attacks, but also detecting suspicious activity, responding quickly to incidents, and containing threats before they impact your business.
Even with robust security controls in place, it is unrealistic to assume that every threat will be stopped. That is why monitoring, alerting, and incident management are essential components of a modern cyber security strategy, enabling rapid response and minimising disruption.
Vinters Cyber Security Solutions
Vinters provides a comprehensive range of cyber security services designed to protect businesses against today’s evolving threats. Our solutions include:
– DDoS protection to maintain service availability and protect against traffic based attacks
– Web Application Firewall (WAF) services to secure internet facing applications
– Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) for advanced threat detection beyond traditional antivirus
– Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) to monitor, correlate, and respond to security events
– Vulnerability scanning and management to identify and remediate security weaknesses
By combining these services, Vinters delivers a tailored, layered cyber security solution aligned to your business requirements, risk profile, and operational goals. Our consultative approach ensures your organisation is protected not just today, but as threats continue to evolve.
Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)
Traditional anti-virus primarily worked by matching a hash of a file against a database and marking it as a known threat. Many modern threats are now considered zero-day which means there is no known hash for the threat so it has become important to now look at the way that a file or executable is behaving instead.
By looking at the behaviour it’s possible to detect if it is acting in a suspicious way or accessing parts of the system that it shouldn’t be and mitigate a threat based on behaviour and artificial intelligence instead. This is where EDR comes in and takes things much further than traditional AV by looking at a variety of different things such as behaviour, the compilation of the file, how the code is written, and so on to create a holistic view of what that file or application is doing.
Vinters partner with select security vendors to offer an EDR product as part of our services for which alerts are reviewed and monitored pro-actively by our monitoring teams to search and respond to any emerging threats on your infrastructure.
Security Information & Event Management (SIEM)
Whilst a lot of threats can be prevented with a thorough level of protection it’s inevitable that a threat sooner or later if a threat is targeting enough that it will make it through and alerting to those events to allow for a cyber response plan to be triggered is crucial.
That’s where SIEM comes in. SIEM works by collating events from various parts of your infrastructure and then analysing those threats for suspicious behaviour such as privileged account creation. Some of these events will be part of routine infrastructure administration which is why they may not have been blocked as malicious however it’s important that they are investigated and marked as such in order to be able to pick out those that are malicious.
Our monitoring teams can configure an SIEM solution that collates your logs and creates automatic incidents which need investigation. The team will then investigate those incidents and trigger a cyber response plan for any which look suspicious.
Vulnerability Scanning
New vulnerabilities are released every day and allocated a CVE number and categorisation for the risk level and the ability to execute. This database of vulnerabilities can be used to scan your infrastructure for any which are applicable to you allowing a mitigation plan to then be formulated and implemented to remove them.
Vinters offer vulnerability scanning for both the network edge which highlights threats which are exposed externally and pose the most risk in addition to scanning of individual devices for vulnerable applications which need patching. This provides you with a complete view of vulnerabilities and the possibility to proactively manage them to reduce your risk.

Cyber Security FAQ’s
Cyber security is the practice of protecting computer systems, networks, applications, and data from malicious attacks, unauthorised access, or damage. It involves a combination of technology, processes and user behaviour that work together to prevent threats and limit damage in the event of any incidents.
Cyberattacks are now constant and increasingly sophisticated, and with 43% of UK organisations reporting breaches each year, protecting your data, people, and operations has never been more critical. Strong cyber security keeps your business moving, builds trust with your customers, and protects you from costly downtime or disruption.
Phishing is one of the most common cyber threats seen that targets human behaviour which is often seen as the weakest point. Attacks impersonate trusted brands or individuals with the intention of tricking the user into clicking harmful links or sharing sensitive information. The messages are designed to look legitimate and appear from another person or organisation, often with a sense of urgency to catch people off guard.
People are both the strongest line of defence and a vulnerability. With human error being responsible for a large percentage of cyber incidents empowering staff to recognise risks and respond confidently is critical to protecting your business, it’s people and its customers. Cyber security awareness provides your staff with the basic tools to question an action before they may take it, such as questioning if an e-mail is from who it says it is before clicking a link.
