Is Your Business Cyber-Safe? Active Protect

Is Your Business Truly Protected? Here’s Why Active Protect Matters

Most businesses have some form of cyber security in place. Antivirus software, a firewall, maybe even email filtering. But is that enough?

The reality is that cyber threats have moved far beyond what traditional tools can handle on their own. Ransomware, phishing attacks, and zero-day exploits are designed to bypass standard defences. And when they get through, the damage can be severe – downtime, data loss, reputational harm, and financial penalties.

That’s where Active Protect comes in.

What Is Active Protect?

Active Protect is Flotek’s managed CyberGuard service that goes beyond traditional antivirus and firewall protection. It combines advanced threat detection, 24/7 monitoring, and rapid response to keep your business safe from modern cyber threats.

Think of it as having a dedicated security team watching over your systems around the clock – without the cost of building one in-house.

What Does Active Protect Include?

• 24/7 Threat Monitoring: Our security operations centre monitors your environment continuously, looking for suspicious activity and responding to threats in real time.

• Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR): Advanced software on every device that detects, isolates, and remediates threats automatically.

• Email Security: Protection against phishing, spoofing, and malicious attachments – the most common entry point for cyberattacks.

• Vulnerability Management: Regular scanning and patching to close security gaps before attackers can exploit them.

• Incident Response: If something does get through, our team responds immediately to contain the threat and minimise damage.

• Security Awareness Training: Training for your staff to recognise and avoid common threats like phishing emails and social engineering.

Why Does This Matter?

The UK government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey consistently shows that a significant proportion of UK businesses experience cyber incidents each year. And it’s not just large enterprises being targeted – small and medium-sized businesses are increasingly in the crosshairs because they often have weaker defences.

Active Protect is designed to give businesses of all sizes access to enterprise-grade security without the enterprise-grade price tag.

Who Is It For?

Active Protect is suitable for any business that:

• Handles sensitive customer or financial data

• Needs to meet compliance requirements (e.g., Cyber Essentials, GDPR, ISO 27001)

• Wants to reduce the risk of downtime from cyber incidents

• Doesn’t have the resource to manage security in-house
