Our advanced inbox defence is powered by a multi-layer AI engine that detects and blocks spear phishing and socially engineered attacks in real time and identifies which employees are at highest risk. This is done through machine learning and behavioural analysis, which allows the technology to understand the typical communication patterns of a company’s email environment and flag any anomalies as suspicious.
When an attack hits your inbox, it can spread throughout the rest of your company network surprisingly fast, causing mounting damage and increasing cost. Incident response solutions work to eliminate these malicious emails as quickly as possible before carrying out remediation actions to halt the overall attack’s progress and minimise damages.

Account takeover and lateral phishing attacks are on the rise – which involve compromised accounts being leveraged to launch internal phishing attacks. That’s why it’s more vital than ever to put a stop to any reported email incidents before they spread through the entire network.
Certainly. That’s because the timing and effectiveness of your response is critical when your organisation is under attack. After all, in most phishing campaigns it takes just 16 minutes for someone to click on a malicious link.
While every strategy is customised to your business needs, there are common elements. This includes preparation for when, rather than if, an incident happens. Also what sort of response based on the attack type, to neutralise and mitigate impact. The third element covers recovery, including how to prevent a repeat.
Microsoft 365 offers a suite of email protection solutions. However, for larger, more complex businesses facing advanced threats, you’ll need a similarly advanced, complex and end-to-end cyber defence strategies and solutions.
Account takeover is a fast-growing threat which is most commonly experienced as a result of a phishing scam or credential stuffing. The compromise of a single company account can cause enough harm, but this threat is also known to quickly spread throughout entire networks, resulting in immeasurable damage.
This is a form of email authentication, designed to stop hackers spoofing your domain. It checks if an email that appears to come from your domain is actually from your domain. Any illegitimate emails are blocked, while authentic emails are allowed through.
Domain spoofing involves cyber criminals impersonating a business or its employees to add a sense of legitimacy to their attack campaigns.
This is when attacker uses a compromised but legitimate company account to launch an internal phishing attack. The trusted source account makes it much easier to manipulate more employees and compromise more accounts.

Microsoft 365 does have an inbuilt spam filter, but this unfortunately is not up to scratch to combat the tactics of today’s spammers. Secure Email Gateways may not be a new or ground-breaking solution, but they remain the best defence against inbound and outbound spam and malware.
With multi-layered email security solutions, additional layers such as AI-powered threat detection and incident response are built upon a more traditional secure email gateway (SEG). This significantly reduces an organisation’s risk of attackers bypassing their defences.
It’s true that certain Microsoft 365 plans come with Exchange Online Protection and Compliance Center, which provides an initial layer of security. However, there are no native security features in Microsoft 365 designed to stop Business Email Compromise, social engineering, and spear phishing attacks.
Any application will be assessed to see how it will work in your cloud environment. Alongside suitability, scalability and usability, connectivity is also a key part of this assessment. Here’s where you benefit from our networking expertise. Built up over 25+ years of connecting businesses.
You may find it hard to find the skills that come from working with some of the UK’s biggest organisations. Many with complex environments, operating in highly regulated industries. Work with us and you get these skills, plus more time to focus on your business, and access to proven technology that boosts productivity and performance.
Hybrid cloud is a popular option for organisations wanting a mix of private security and shared resources. However, this mix can easily lead to complexity – which can impact speed and interoperability. That’s why it’s important to define a hybrid strategy at the start, by carrying out a cloud-based cost-benefit analysis.
Private cloud means a cloud solely for your organisation’s data, apps, infrastructure, and all resources. You manage everything – performance, control and security. Of course, this also means you manage its responsibilities. Public cloud means your resources are stored in a shared cloud with other customers, even if your resources are hidden from each other.
Wearables, smart homes – it’s clear the IoT revolution is on its way on the consumer world. For businesses, particularly mid-market and enterprise, we’d recommend contacting us to discuss your IoT goals. We have the answers (and capabilities) to show you regarding networks, connectivity, security, and reliability. In fact, everything you need to get started with IoT in your business.
Yes. IPv6 is a newer version of the Internet Protocol (IP) that uses 128 bits (compared to the long-established IPv4’s 32 bits). It’s already commonly used in next-generation applications, cloud computing, and is expected to be used with IoT.
The Industrial Internet of Things brings the power of IoT to industrial use cases. For example, the energy industry, which also happens to be one of our specialist areas.
5G services are available with the four major UK networks. However, your business will need something more bespoke, designed to suit your business scenario. We can advise you at every step.
Our proven cyber security solutions secure businesses all the way up to bank-grade compliance standards. With our long-standing expertise around interoperability, we can devise the right IoT and security strategy for your industry, vertical, and company size.
Hybrid IT is where your organisation provides and manages some resources in-house but also uses cloud-based services for resources. You may wish to keep data on-premises for compliance reasons, while harnessing cloud technology for other services requiring more agility.
You can have a full telephone service in the cloud, without needing system hardware (apart from phone devices). It’s scalable, doesn’t usually require physical cabling, and enables your workforce to be productive through an app, rather than from a fixed phone line.
Certain Microsoft 365 plans do come with Exchange Online Protection and Compliance Centre, providing an initial layer of security. However, there are no native security features in Office 365 designed to stop Business Email Compromise, social engineering, and spear phishing attacks.
As a UK-wide provider for 25+ years, we’ve seen (and solved) most in-building problem scenarios. Especially for social housing clients with often older and larger buildings. Thick walls is a common challenge, which can be solved by placing small Distributed Antenna Systems throughout your building, helping your signal go around rather than through walls.
We regularly help customers successfully manage the switch from office to remote working. For example, installing softphone technology through your agent’s browsers. With nothing more than a headset and stable internet connection.
Yes – We offer self-managed and co-managed services.
Yes – clearly there is some advantages of having a single vendor were possible, however the advantages of another vendors solution can outweigh these. Many of our client solutions have a mix of vendors
Yes – through all phases of the implementation or in life support we are happy vary our engagement to take into account elements of the service that can be delivered by the client of 3rd parties. We regularly provide services into a mixed echo delivery system.
Barring some specific instances, as originally conceived, yes. However, vendors have adopted the concept within their own product lines. Brining products to market that have enriched functionality being orchestrated from centralised management systems.
SDN is the decupling of the data, control and application plane within a network device, the concept being you deploy generic hardware to perform specific functions, e.g an Ethernet switch and then control it from a separate 3rd party application that could control other functions within the overall system.
Lead times will vary depending on the product you choose and your location. The good news is that we can offer interim solutions if needed, including 4G and 5G options. Our support teams will also work closely with our network providers to ensure your deadlines are met and that you are kept informed of progress at every stage.
Yes, as voice services continue to move to IP, especially with the ISDN 2025 switch off, supporting voice is now a critical part of the role of your Ethernet or Broadband service. Arrow can offer converged data services across all of our products which will both secure enough bandwidth and prioritise voice over your data network
Arrow offer comprehensive SLAs with our data products and a number of resilient and backup solutions. We will work with you to find the best solution for your business. Ethernet is always the best product to choose for total peace of mind.
Arrow are agnostic and work with a number of network providers including BT Openreach, Gamma, Virgin and Cityfibre to ensure we have the best nationwide coverage choice for our customers
Yes, most providers offer broadband services to both consumers and businesses, leading to bandwidth choke points at inconvenient times of the day. For your business performance to be the best it can be, ideally you want a business-focused data solution from a business-specialist provider. Such a provider will prioritise business traffic and offer services built specifically for business needs like yours. What’s more, we’ll be able to offer you significantly better levels of support with specialist engineers, both during and outside business hours.
There are many popular third-party DevOps integrations, including Puppet, Chef, Ansible, Terraform, Azure ARM, AWS CloudFormation. Third-party scanning tool integrations include IBM AppScan, Rapid7, Immuniweb, HPE Security WebInspect.
The OWASP Top 10 is a standard awareness document for developers and web application security, representing a broad consensus of the most critical security risks to web applications. This includes:
Broken Access Control
Cryptographic Failures
Injection
Insecure Design
Security Misconfiguration
Vulnerable and Outdated Components
Identification and Authentication Failures
Software and Data Integrity Failures
Security Logging and Monitoring Failures
Server-Side Request Forgery
The Web Application Firewall protects against all OWASP top 10 attacks, zero-day attacks, data leakage, and DDoS attacks
Acting as a full proxy, the Web Application Firewall inspects request traffic to detect and block inbound attacks while inspecting response traffic to prevent loss of sensitive data such as credit card and Social Security numbers.
HTTP and HTTPS traffic is designed to traverse network firewalls. This traffic can contain command exploits that target vulnerabilities in web applications. The Barracuda Web Application Firewall screens input to web applications to block attacks that pass through network firewalls.
This is when a malicious third party breaks into a user’s account. Often the account contains personal details, which can be used for more serious forms of identity theft.
This analyses behaviours, patterns and movements related to an entity such as your corporate network. Over time, this pattern becomes established and so any deviation is flagged up as a possible breach.
Autonomous Response is capable of working out the correct action to take to curb or stop an in-progress attack, without the need for human intervention. Regardless of time of day, or where the attack comes in — through cloud, SaaS, email, or the corporate network — the AI takes precise action to neutralise the threat and buy back time for stretched security teams.
Self-Learning AI is made up of many thousands of algorithms that inform its decision-making, each with different strengths. These algorithms operate in competition with one another to deliver the best model for every user and device.
To determine which algorithms to employ at any given moment, Darktrace uses a smart threshold filter that contextually weights and rescores the outputs from all machine learning detectors in light of their previous performance.
To combine these analyses of digital activity, Darktrace uses a technique known as Recursive Bayesian Estimation. Crucially, this allows the AI to continually recalculate threat levels in light of new data and discern significant patterns in data flows indicative of attacks.
AI is transforming the way we perform myriad tasks within our business and personal lives. But not all AI is created equal. Rather than using large volumes of training data, Self-Learning AI learns on the job from real-time data. Applied to cyber security, this means that it can identify and stop zero-day attacks, because it’s not learning from historical attack data.
The Barracuda Web Security Gateway can work with your proxy server either as a cascading proxy server or in transparent mode. We normally recommend replacing a proxy server with the Barracuda Web Security Gateway.
The Barracuda Web Security Gateway supports any LDAP compatible directory server, including Active Directory, Domino Directory, eDirectory and Open LDAP.
Yes, the Barracuda Web Security Gateway lets administrators customise policies for specific users, groups, and IP address ranges in the organisation. Administrators can also establish time ranges for those policies.
Custom policy examples:
- To prevent users from job hunting while at work, create a policy that gives only the human resources group access to job-board sites.
- Defining separate access policies for teachers and students.
- Grant unrestricted web access to compliance officers for investigations.
- The Barracuda Web Security Gateway integrates with LDAP directory servers for user and group membership information. It also integrates with Windows domain controllers for easy user authentication.
This solution filters unwanted software, advanced threats and malware from web-based/internet traffic. It also acts as a tool for you to enforce policies.
Web filtering is a technology stops users from viewing certain URLs or websites by preventing their browsers from loading pages from these sites. Web filters are made in different ways and deliver various solutions for individual, family, institutional or enterprise use.
On-site gives companies a powerful way to protect against ransomware and other malicious threats, protecting against accidents, disasters and unexpected malfunctions. It can offer a hybrid option to be used with the cloud, as well as a way to comply with regulatory requirements around storing data.
Arrow’s on-premise backup combines an onsite appliance with a flexible monthly, quarterly or yearly subscription that replicates data offsite. Combining local and offsite storage provides the best of both worlds – onsite backups for the fastest restore times and secure, offsite storage for disaster recovery.
Our on-premise backup creates a local copy of protected data and efficiently transfers the data offsite without additional burden to production servers. With three secure copies of data and several different methods to restore an organisation’s assets, it is a comprehensive, flexible, and efficient solution to achieve your disaster recovery needs.
Tapes require the manual management of scheduling backups. Hard drives only create one instance of your data. Whether using tapes or hard drives, the stored data has no means to minimise file duplications and does not possess revision history to select the correct historical version to revert back to. Another burden is the need to regularly transport data offsite for a secondary copy in the event of a system failure or disaster. In comparison, an integrated local and offsite backup solution is easy to manage with automatic backups based on a set time, as well as the secure transfer of data offsite for disaster recovery.
Equipment storing information can fail. Backup, whether it is local or offsite, maintains a redundant copy of an organisation’s valuable data in the event of a system failure or natural disaster as well as retains data to fulfil compliance requirements and litigation requests. With the additional copy of data, IT administrators gain the ability to easily restore important files. A backup solution for data restores is an integral part of an organisation’s disaster recovery plan.
A virtual agent is similar to IVR, using a mixture of pre-recorded answers and Natural Language Processing to support your users and customers by providing them with the necessary information.
Interactive Voice Response gives your callers a set of pre-recorded messages, with menu selection by keypad. It bypasses the need to speak to agents, and instead offers an automated phone system
Omnichannel customer contact is a key part of our solutions. It gives your customers the opportunity to contact you however they want, whether phone, email, chat or another medium. In the modern always-connected world, omnichannel has become a crucial differentiator.

Yes – many organisations have the capability to make certain levels of changes themselves or at certain times of there choosing. We are happy to split access across types of change or share control in part or full
Absolutely. You get a portal that provides access to status and performance information.
The value comes from detecting a decorating issue or loss of resilience before it becomes service impacting. It can also alert about malicious activity and other anomalous behaviour.
These carriers own enough of the UK’s infrastructure that call quality and reliability isn’t compromised by having to compress or re-route calls. They include Vodafone, Virgin Media Business, Gamma Telecom, and British Telecom.
International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) accreditation demonstrates proven world-class services, standards and processes. It is recognised across industries, and is an internationally recognised seal of approval from an objective third-party
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure is a form of virtualisation that uses virtual machines to provide and virtual desktops. These are hosted on a central server, and enable users to connect remotely and access services and applications remotely.
Hybrid cloud is a mix of computing services and infrastructure that can be made up of multiple platforms, from at least one on-premises solution and one cloud-based solution.
Private cloud is computing services and infrastructure that’s for one organisation only. No resources are shared, with everything isolated on a private network.
Not necessarily. LAN is having to evolve, to cater for increased device mobility and cloud-based networks. LAN also offers security that supports many companies’ regulatory requirements.
These carriers own enough of the UK’s infrastructure that call quality and reliability isn’t compromised by having to compress or re-route calls. They include Vodafone, Virgin Media Business, Gamma Telecom, and British Telecom.
More people are working remotely, partly due to new technologies such as cloud, and partly due to changing employee expectations around flexible working. With more devices being used remotely, more connections to networks are made.
An endpoint is a device, such as a PC or phone, that is connected to a network.
This is where an organisation’s usual business activity and behaviour is monitored. Any anomalies or sudden changes in behaviour, such as with application usage, are flagged up. This means malicious attacks can be stopped as early as possible.
Yes. Often as a means to increase network resilience and cost control, we will use services from multiple providers, giving you the best-fit for engineering a solution.
Absolutely. Many of our client solutions have a mix of WAN technologies. For example, we’ve delivered MPLS, Point to Point and SD-WAN, all serving different requirements.
Yes – we offer self-managed and co-managed services.
This depends on the services available at your location. Many sites can get access to fibre, which is typically the most reliable and offers the best performance. Most will have fibre to cabinet, allowing superfast broadband. Pretty much everywhere has copper to the exchange, enabling ADSL and Ethernet over copper services. Increasing 4G and 5G is also an option. We can perform a desktop survey and confirm available services.
For many organisations following a cloud strategy, the increasingly common answer is yes. However, MPLS and other technologies still have something different to offer.
Protecting your networks involves strategic expertise, to analyse your systems and monitor traffic flow, bandwidth and general vigilance of your infrastructure. To achieve this, we can advise you on the right firewalls, SD-WAN, IoT device security, load balancers, general web security and much more.
The nature of public cloud requires a high level of control to ensure your data is kept separate from others. We offer specialised public cloud security and firewall solutions, designed for AWS/Azure/Google.
Solutions such as Veamm, one of our partners, enable disaster recovery within seconds. You can back up, replicate and enable cloud mobility from a single console. You also get real-time monitoring for managing threats and data security.

We can provide digital infrastructure to solve your in-building challenges. Masts, small cells, picocells, distributed antenna systems, 5G ready fibre, whatever in-building coverage your business and users need.
SD-WAN transforms how you can benefit from cloud applications. Centralised control, easy scalability, cost savings – these are just some of the many advantages SD-WAN has compared to MPLS.
We can spin up scalable virtual solutions to deal with threats such as data loss prevention, intrusion detection and prevention. Naturally, these are as flexible as you need, to help avoid bill shock while freeing up your resources.
Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). You manage it via Barracuda Cloud Control, a cloud-based service that makes it easy to monitor and configure Barracuda products and services from a single console.
You set the retention policies for your backed-up data based on your particular needs. Unlimited retention means you get complete flexibility.
You are free to back up and protect an unlimited amount of data in Barracuda Cloud Storage.
It is licensed on a per-user basis.
Use it to protect your Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and OneDrive for Business data. For more information, please refer to our documentation here.
An SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) is an application of software-defined networking (SDN) technology that provides software-based control over wide area network connections. SD-WAN technology simplifies the management and operation of a WAN by separating the networking hardware from its control mechanism. It essentially “virtualises” the WAN so that you can configure the network and route traffic without dealing with proprietary hardware connections.
A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, allows you to create a secure connection to another network over the Internet. VPNs forward all your personal traffic through their network, which is where the benefits all come from.
Enterprises have shifted away from running applications from on-prem servers – instead opting to use virtual machines and containers. This has led to rapid growth in endpoints, all of which need to be protected. This constant flux of endpoint exposure has necessitated a shift away from traditional network security solutions.
Cloud Firewalls are software-based, cloud deployed network devices, built to stop or mitigate unwanted access to private networks. As a new technology, they are designed for modern business needs, and sit within online application environments.
The term “Next-Generation Firewall” (NGFW) was first coined by Gartner Research, and it refers to the third generation of network firewall technology. These firewalls build on the previous generation of firewalls by tightly integrating additional capabilities, such as in-line deep packet inspection (DPI), intrusion prevention (IPS), and application-level traffic inspection.
There are significant limitations and deficiencies with this approach which make it inadvisable. These include:
- Backups capture data at specific points in time, so cannot ensure a 100-percent complete and accurate record of all data.
- Retention policies within backups do not provide the granular level of control over data retention needed to meet more complex compliance requirements.
- Backups do not provide full text and multilevel search, tagging, and export capabilities, which maybe critical for compliance with e-discovery requests.
- The point-in-time revisions stored by backup solutions contain multiple versions of data items, which must be reconciled to produce a single set of accurate and verifiable results for e-discovery.
- Backup solutions typically do not provide direct access for end users to search and retrieve historical data, or allow them to restore individual items without involving IT.
Most users are up and running within an hour, and there are no additional charges for setup, implementation, or importing existing data.
If you use the Barracuda Cloud Archiving Service, there is no limit to the amount of data that you can archive and retain indefinitely. We do recommend that you implement data retention policies to ensure compliance and reduce risk.
The Barracuda Cloud Archiving Service is licensed on a simple and predictable per-user basis, with no charge for inactive mailboxes. The Barracuda Message Archiver is licensed on the basis of a flat cost per appliance regardless of the number of users. For both solutions, all functionality is included in the standard licence, with no additional charges or setup fees.
Absolutely, we have dedicated experienced consultants who can work with you to meet your requirements and future needs.
A Session Initiation Protocol enables applications to set up voice and video calls for users. These are made in real-time, and can be desktop or mobile clients.
Hybrid IT is where your organisation provides and manages some resources in-house but also uses cloud-based services for resources. You may wish to keep data on-premises for compliance reasons, while harnessing cloud technology for other services requiring more agility.
Cloud computing provides on-demand availability of computing resources and services, including data, applications, and servers. It’s delivered through the internet as a scalable and elastic service, rather than with hardware.
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) was originally described by analyst firm Gartner. SASE is a form of network architecture that simplifies traditional wide-area networking and security, by delivering connectivity when needed as a cloud service directly.
Costs vary depending on how many networks you would need and how many floors and space is required. We can provide an approximate quote and a desktop design from a set of floor plans. So, if you are interested, send them in to your account manager.
All the network operator cells and supporting switches. If exiting cabling is not needed, we can also provide this at a competitive rate
Small cell in-building coverage solutions allow for internal cells (size of a router) to receive mobile traffic from devices. This is then sent via the building data network to the installed switches, usually in a main comms room. Then, via partitioned or dedicated connectivity, it’s sent out to the Freshwave network and the mobile network.
In-building coverage is provided by Freshwave, so you’re covered and supported by all four main UK operators (O2, Vodafone, EE and Three).
An in-building coverage solution is a system installed to provide mobile phone coverage to an area lacking signal. Types and prices vary, and usually depend on office size and number of users.
Whenever a network connects to the internet, it becomes more vulnerable. When that network is a home network, it’s likely to be patched less often, may have multiple unsecured devices connected, and is less visible to the organisation.
Multi-layered security gives your organisation several layers of protection. It’s a way to managing the complexity and variety of modern threats, by deploying multiple controls throughout your environment.
Zero-day relates to recently discovered vulnerabilities, which the vendor hasn’t spotted or had time to fix yet. These are particularly dangerous because only the attacker knows they exist.
This protects your applications, APIs and mobile app backends, preventing threats reaching your network. It’s ideal for modern business, with increased use of applications meaning an increased attack surface.
This filters unsecured traffic from entering your network. It can also be used to apply and enforce acceptable use policies, helping you ensure regulatory compliance.
Yes, absolutely. We can port your numbers without downtime, for business continuity and peace of mind.
This connects your Microsoft Teams tenant to a PSTN, so users can make and receive calls using Teams on any device.
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) uses VoIP protocol to connect phone systems to the PSTN. SIP trunk are seen as a cost-effective alternative or replacement for ISDN, which is being switched off in 2025.
A Private Branch Exchange (PBX) manages your users’ internal calls, routing them to the right extensions, and offers a certain number of external numbers.
The Session Border Controller (SBC) securely transfers data from your phone system into the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
Our partners offer a range of features that focus on high-quality customer and employee experience. These include cloud telephony modules for call groups, internal help desks, screensharing, automatic dialling, IVR, disaster recovery, robotic process automation.
We offer a range of voice solutions from best-in-breed vendors, many of which include analytics for you to monitor and optimise performance.
Arrow offers Arrow Skills, built–in to each user’s Teams instance. This includes 5,000+ regularly updated videos to help your employees get the most from Teams and related products.
MiFID II is a directive for businesses operating in the finance industry. It states they must define and adapt how they record and process customer interactions. Contact centres must therefore consider how this impacts their use of call scripts, identity management, and consent.
This is the legal process for capturing calls in a way that matches the requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. Any time a customer gives their card details in a call that is recorded/captured, you need to put in place systems to comply.
Yes. We offer IoT consultancy services for sending and receiving data to your connected devices. What’s more, we can offer you tariffs at more cost-effective rates than if you go to providers directly.
All customers get free access to Insight. This is your online billing platform for checking invoices, managing fleets of devices, and generating reports.
No. Relax with 100% speed on data and connectivity, keeping you productive at all times.
Devices will automatically select the best signal available – your users won’t need to do any mobile phone management.
No. Mobile connectivity and mobile shared data can be under one tariff with one SIM, even though you’re benefiting from multiple networks.
Most UK businesses pay VAT at 20%. However, you may be entitled to a 5% rate if your consumption is officially recognised as “low” or your business is charitable or non-profit. We can help you make sure you’re paying the right amount, and even help you apply for a rebate.
You’ll find a wide range of renewable energy types, ranging from established to emerging technologies. These all come from the planet’s natural activities, including solar, wind, sea, hydro (water), biomass (plants), geothermal (hot water and steam).
We work with a range of suppliers, each with different advantages and pricing models. It’s this variety and complexity that means we offer to manage your contracts for you, saving you time and freeing you to focus on your business.
Services are bespoke and are customised according to your business and goals. We’re a full service broker, so this can cover procurement and account management, through to sourcing contracts and optimising budgets.
Green electricity is produced from renewable sources, such as wind, solar and hydro. It’s sometimes called clean energy because it’s not from fossil fuels such as coal or gas.
Our advanced inbox defence is powered by a multi-layer AI engine. This detects and blocks spear phishing and socially engineered attacks in real-time, and identifies which employees are at highest risk. This is done through machine learning and behavioural analysis, which allows the technology to understand the typical communication patterns of your email environment, flagging any anomalies as suspicious.
Microsoft 365 does have advanced in-built security. However, some attacks rely on human error, and these often can’t be picked up by software-based defence solutions.
The rise in hybrid working means more employees have remote access to business-critical data, storage and infrastructure. Rather than residing behind the perimeter, this makes them more open and potentially vulnerable to hackers. Empowering them with knowledge through security awareness is the best way you can help them defend.
This educates and informs your employees and users about their role in preventing cyber attacks on your business. Through a series of activities, they’re placed in situations that mimic genuine cyber attack techniques, such as through phishing email attempts. Games and questionnaires can also be used, to gain qualitative and quantitative understanding into different employees’ awareness levels.
This is a form of attack which relies on human psychology rather than technology. It aims to cause human error, by tricking a user into giving out confidential information or access to your data, network, or other valuable resources. Seemingly innocuous questions, that rely on someone’s natural instinct to trust and believe who they’re talking to.
When an attack hits your inbox, it can spread throughout the rest of your company network fast, causing exponential damage and increasing cost. Incident response solutions are built to eliminate these malicious emails as quickly as possible before carrying out remediation actions to halt the overall attack’s progress and minimise damages.
The advanced inbox defence is powered by a multi-layer AI engine. This detects and blocks spear phishing and socially engineered attacks in real time, and identifies which of your employees are at highest risk. This is done through machine learning and behavioural analysis. The technology understands the typical communication patterns and writing styles in your email environment. Any unusual activity or changes from the norm are flagged as anomalies and suspicious.
Microsoft 365 does have an inbuilt spam filter, but this may not always be enough to combat tactics of today’s spammers. Secure Email Gateways are tried-and-tested (rather than new or ground-breaking solution), and remain the best defence against inbound and outbound spam and malware.
With multi-layered email security solutions, additional layers such as AI-powered threat detection and incident response are built upon a more traditional secure email gateway (SEG). This significantly reduces your organisation’s risk of attackers bypassing their defences
Certain Microsoft 365 plans do come with Exchange Online Protection and Compliance Centre, providing an initial layer of security. However, there are no native security features in Office 365 designed to stop Business Email Compromise, social engineering, and spear phishing attacks.
We have frameworks for whichever platform you currently use. As a Microsoft Gold Partner, Teams is obviously a solution where we have specific expertise. Zoom is also a common choice for our clients.

This filters inbound and outbound traffic, particularly with applications, helping to protect your business against malicious attacks with monitoring of the http/https protocol.
This ensures you can restore business and operations quickly, with the minimum amount of damage. Your data, applications and resources are backed up and kept on a cloud-based remote server (rather than on-premises)
Yes. Our solutions enable you to store up to 50,000 minutes of MP3 audio, with options to integrate with platforms built for compliance around the likes of GDPR.
This involves listening to conversations between a caller and an agent. Managers may want to check that standards are being kept, or a colleague may need to step in to support or add extra information.
The government has introduced multiple policies and schemes that relate to low carbon and net zero electricity initiatives. These include Climate Change Agreements, Climate Change Levies, CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme, Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting, Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme.
Choosing the right option can be a huge challenge – especially for larger organisations with multiple contracts. That’s why we offer a specialised procurement service, which involves assessing current usage, evaluating taxes and charges, sourcing quotes, legal reviews, and plenty more.
Pulse’s POD software can save 90% of your time managing utilities. You get real-time and automated reporting for performance metrics. These include usage, documentation, alerts, error notifications, on-demand budgeting and forecasting.
This means achieving a neutral (ie zero) balance between the amount of greenhouse gas produced, and the amount of greenhouse gases removed from the Earth’s atmosphere.
Companies emitting CO2 and other greenhouse gases (their carbon footprint) invest in projects that store or reduce carbon emission. To be offset, the amount emitted should be less than the amount stored or reduced.
Over the years we’ve encountered many reasons for errors. Sometimes it’s down to new IT systems and issues with implementation and integration. It can be down to older meters which have degraded or developed faults. There’s also the risk of human error, particularly when processing billing for large organisations.
The RO is a government-led initiative, obliging electricity suppliers to source a proportion of their supply from renewable energy sources.
Pulse Online Database. Built by energy broker Pulse, POD gives you transparent reporting to improve efficiencies across finance, facilities and sustainability teams.

We work with the major cloud platforms, Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure. We can advise you on which is most suitable, depending on your needs, and based on requirements around networking, access control, remote access, DDoS, traffic management, monitoring and threat detection.
A Web Application Firewall (WAF) protects websites and applications from attackers who use protocol and application vulnerabilities to steal data, deny service (DDoS), or deface websites. This is done by inspecting HTTP traffic before it reaches your applications, and filtering out the threat before any damage can be dealt.
Cloud Generation firewalls combine full next-generation security with the connectivity optimization of a full SD-WAN solution onto one single, easy to manage hardware, virtual or cloud appliance – improving site-to-site connectivity and enabling uninterrupted access to applications hosted in the cloud.
Cloud security allows businesses to fearlessly explore the benefits of cloud computing without placing any of their employees or sensitive data at risk of compromise or corruption.
Cloud security is a general description for security solutions focused around cloud data and applications, typically including technology like cloud firewalls and web application firewalls.
These need to support your full fleet of devices, offer admins a single pane for monitoring, and offer integration with your existing infrastructure.
This involves making sure your organisation can respond and recover to any potential disruption to services. This usually involves high-level assessments of systems and infrastructure, analysing potential for backing up and restoring your data, ensuring business continuity, and protecting against security threats.
As a UK-wide provider for 25+ years, we’ve seen (and solved) most in-building problem scenarios. Especially for enterprise clients with their often bigger and deeper buildings. Thick walls is a common challenge, which can be solved by placing small Distributed Antenna Systems throughout your office, helping your signal go around rather than through walls.
While every business case is unique, at the minimum your partner should be able to provide 4G/5G access, caps to avoid bill shock, customised invoices, no throttling, a choice of the latest devices, roaming options with bolt-ons for even more customisation.

This is where your on-premises users can connect to Teams, where they can take advantage of the multiple cloud services offered.
Much like how we work with our clients, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. This entirely depends on your hybrid working goals, your current environment, and your end users. Naturally, we offer solutions and consultancy to help you succeed in all these areas.
While a big driver has been the pandemic, the move to more flexible working, including hybrid, has been around for a while. The advent of cloud and BYOD culture are two drivers which have already helped show organisations the potential of remote working.
Hybrid working employees spend some time in their central office, and some time elsewhere, either at home or in another location. Of course, successful hybrid working relies on solutions that bridge the gap between office and home.
Certainly. We can make sure these are part of your integrated platform, and easy to connect or upgrade.
We offer a range of contact centre voice, data and network solutions to support you with compliance and governance requirements. These range from PCI, GDPR, MiFID II, and other FCA rules and regulations.
We can help you decide which elements you need, and what sort of internet connection you’ll need. We can also recommend solutions for remote and hybrid contact centres – connecting workers, partners, or customers.
We regularly help customers successfully manage the switch from office to remote working. For example, installing softphone technology though your agent’s browsers. With nothing more than a headset and stable internet connection.
Alongside the hardware and networks, we’ll recommend you the right infrastructure to support your omni-channel strategy. In particular, around customer self-service. After all, offering something like a chatbot can be a game-changer – as long as it leads to a positive experience.

This includes legal reviews of suppliers’ proposals, sourcing quotes from the largest energy firms and specialist suppliers, validating bills against your energy consumption, and evaluating charges and taxes.
Ideally this would take place years in advance, giving us the maximum time to optimise budgets. The goal is to avoid you coming to the end of a contract without already having a new contract in place.
We work with many large enterprises to cover every angle of renewable energy strategies. From sourcing to ensuring compliance, through to managing supply and securing infrastructure.
There are several contract options and tariffs, depending on how much data you want to use. O2 and Vodafone contracts with UNLIMITED data cost £25.00 per month through Arrow.
