Although their main service is not security, the company provides Software as a Service (SaaS), which not only affordably improves business process automation and efficiency, but actually lessens risks and enhances clients\u2019 data security.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is according to Christopher de Zeeuw, Managing Director of Capisol Software.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cCybersecurity has not only become a hot topic on everyone\u2019s lips \u2013 but the \u2018big bad wolf\u2019 of the modern business world &#8211; and with good reason, as daily breaches have proven that anyone could be a target. According to a recent information security survey by IT Web, 57 percent of local companies which participated in the survey had suffered a phishing attack in the past year. 39 percent had fallen victim to a malware incident. Adding to these worrying statistics, according to Tech Central, 60 percent of small companies go out of business within six months of a cybersecurity attack,\u201d de Zeeuw explains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> &#8220;However, instead of becoming paranoid, panicking and imposing a \u2018blanket block\u2019 on all IT access, companies should rather analyse and proactively manage their risk profile,\u201d advises de Zeeuw.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cCybersecurity is an incredibly threatening and fast-moving challenge for all companies today \u2013 large and small, no matter where they are based. As a consequence, many are feeling vulnerable and somewhat helpless in the face of this constant, lurking threat in today\u2019s \u2018always on, always connected\u2019 business world,<\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u201d de Zeeuw points out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Jacques Correia, Technical Director at Capisol agrees: \u201cIn these hyper-connected times, businesses simply cannot afford to function as islands anymore, so interaction and integration with external systems have obviously become an everyday, operational necessity. However, how securely such interactions and integration are managed, determines the level of risk entailed.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">With in-depth knowledge of the management of such risks, Capisol has developed a software platform which is remarkably powerful, yet also simple and efficient. It integrates seamlessly into a business\u2019s existing IT system, to provide a host of automated document management services while reducing complexity and risk. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cOur platform is specifically tailored to conform to each client\u2019s local security protocols, thereby enabling them to maintain full control of their own business operations,\u201d Correia explains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cAs an example, data is encrypted and sent from the client site to the Capisol cloud-based servers, and clients are never required to open in-bound channels. This means that their existing security system cannot be compromised in any way; and therefore, our interaction does not introduce a potential security \u2018weak spot\u2019.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Correia adds that there are some \u2018golden guidelines\u2019 which can effectively provide the tools with which companies can demystify and combat cybersecurity threats: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Simple and effective security <\/i><\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThe first is to really understand your company\u2019s data and its potential value to hackers; and then to implement a simple, well-designed, security system. Unfortunately, many companies spend exorbitant amounts of money on multi-layered security structures &#8211; while a \u2018back door\u2019 giving access to their most valuable data is left wide open. In this case, it should be borne in mind that complexity is no guarantee of security \u2013 frequently, it is the very opposite,\u201d he explains.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Organisational speed and agility <\/i><\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cHackers and malware are becoming more sophisticated every day, but so are security systems. Companies need to stay abreast of, and implement, the latest security technology; and also ensure they are sufficiently agile to make quick decisions when required. This can be achieved by regularly reviewing the company\u2019s security risk, and then updating policies and systems frequently,\u201d Correia advises.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Employee training and education<\/i><\/b><\/span><b><i> <\/i><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Internal staff members are frequently the greatest threat to a company\u2019s security system. The majority of spyware, malware and phishing attacks gain access into a system through the actions of an uninformed employee, who opens an infected email or unknowingly installs infected software &#8211; which can then corrupt the entire network. <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Tech Central confirms that 52% of data security breaches are caused by human error or system failure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">This risk can partially be mitigated by automating as many cumbersome administrative tasks as possible, and thereby bypassing personal emails as the primary means of circulating important documents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cCapisol Software adds significant value to our clients, by offering them a completely automated platform which manages the storage, distribution and retrieval of documents and data, with as minimal employee involvement as possible. The system is designed to run by itself and only flag exceptions for investigation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Our latest service offering \u2013 <i>CapiSign<\/i> \u2013 provides the security of an automated and tracked digital signature solution, which is fully integrated with our cloud document management service. Our platform is an enabler for the reduction of human errors; while facilitating improvement of business process automation and driving efficiency,\u201d explains Correia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This innovative and forward-thinking company has been growing steadily since its inception in 2013 by implementing ground-breaking solutions for clients such as Adcock Ingram, Bidvest Waltons, Altron Group, RCL and AdaptIT.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe are extremely proud to be a trusted business partner \u2013 embodying our company promise of <i>\u2018always efficient and consistently reliable\u2019<\/i> &#8211; to a rapidly growing client base. While there may be no single \u2018silver bullet\u2019 to protect against the vampire-like threats to cybersecurity, we believe that we add an additional level of security and lessen associated risks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Our clients are experiencing the value of<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>worry-free, secure cloud-based document solutions \u2013 yielding improved cash flow, staff and business efficiency and ultimately \u2013 the \u2018holy Grail\u2019 of modern business in these challenging times &#8211; sustainability,\u201d concludes de Zeeuw.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the trusted provider of an integrated, cloud-native, document management platform for businesses in a wide range of industries, Capisol Software is very well acquainted with the realities of cybersecurity attacks in today\u2019s business environment.
