Through Technology: Making a difference.....

We assist firms in implementing mechanisms like DMARC, SPF, DKIM, and TLS to support email security and reduce exposure to phishing

With the rise of Microsoft in the security space, Through Technology leverages the software provider’s solutions to help their clients transition from the old culture of handling security boundaries at the edge of data centres, to securing cloud services, data and end-user devices managed from the cloud. “We secure cloud services and end-user devices to the standards required by the government, and work with our partners to reduce the cost of SaaS licensing and cloud storage.” adds Hanney. Since the company finds most of its clientele in the public sector, they are highly experienced in government infrastructure security. A recent focus for the firm has been the evolution of public sector email services. Traditionally, the UK public sector had the PSN (Public Services Network) to transmit mails amongst organisations privately. In recent years, however, Government strategy has been to move off the PSN to cloud email services and internet transport. Organisations, therefore,need to implement email security controls and monitoring, rather than rely on the presumption that their data is safe on a private network. “We assist organisations to migrate to public cloud email (including exiting the PSN) and implement mechanisms such as DMARC, SPF, DKIM, and TLS to support email security and reduce exposure to phishing,” continues Hanney.

Another focus area for the firm is assisting its clients in leveraging the security controls already available in their existing systems, particularly for Microsoft 365, email and internet services.

With a strong track record of being a reliable partner and in providing excellent services, Through Technology focuses more on helping clients to take on and manage solutions themselves, rather than singlehandedly solving all issues. Once the firm has helped the client establish its internal team, it slowly ramps down its activities. This leaves the customer with in-depth knowledge on how to run their systems along with the proper standards of security. “We want our customers to have a persistent relationship with Through Technology, rather than a persistent dependence upon us. If we help our customers stand on their own two feet, and maintain excellent relationships with them, then we can help out when their strategy requires bursts in team capacity and capability in the future.” concludes Hanney.
