Password complexity & security
Ensuring your login details are strong is key to your security. We set your systems and devices up according to the latest guidance from NIST and set password discipline in your organisation.
Staff Awareness Training
Up to 95 per cent of cyber attack originate from human error. We train your staff to avoid common phishing scams and become your human firewall. Port Douglas Cyber Security monthly packages receive updated training as new threats emerge.
Multifactor authentication
MFA makes it even harder for hackers to get in to your system based on your login details. There are many types of MFA, some better than others. As Port locals we set you up with the appropriate MFA for your business.
User access restrictions
Restricting members of your team so they can access only the areas of your network that they need to. This significantly reduces the potential of the impact of human error and of malicious staff actions.
NIST maturity assessment
Port Douglas Cyber Security officers assess your maturity against the National Institute of Security & Technology (NIST) Cyber Security Framework. This provides us with information in 5 NIST categories – Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond & Recover. We use this detailed picture of your maturity to build a strategic roadmap for improvement.
Dedicated cyber officer
Port Douglas Cyber Security’s dedicated cyber officer uses the results of your NIST maturity assessment to improve your security and protect your organisation. Your officer will provide a strategic roadmap of immediate actions necessary to get you secure and less urgent items that can be done each month to take your security to the next level.
Incident readiness
Incidents occur. Businesses who are prepared experience less downtime and costs as well as lower levels of supplier and customer impact. Port Douglas Cyber Security develop an incident response plan specific to your business and conduct scenario testing to ensure if and when an incident occurs you are ready to limit its impact.
Endpoint protection and monitoring
Cyber security has come a long way since basic, free anti-virus software. We provide you with the latest preventative software for all your devices to stop attacks before they reach you. Our real time monitoring service picks up hacks before they reach you.

“what is the biggest threat to my business?”
One the most common threats is phishing attacks. They come in multiple forms from links in emails, to scam text messages and are becoming increasingly sophisticated and difficult to spot even for an expert! Once clicked on they can install software on your system to monitor your behaviour until they gain valuable info, ie login details, spread through your system destroying data, and be passed on to your suppliers and customers without you knowing.
“what is a cyber security standard and why use it!”
A cyber security standard, ie ISO27001 is an internationally recognised set of policies and controls that when applied effectively greatly help protect organisations from attack. They are recognised globally and complying or certifying to a standard improves your security and provides your customers and suppliers assurance that you take information security seriously. Showing annual progression is a great way of boosting your security, satisfying regulators and showing your customers you care about their booking data.cyber security port douglas, port douglas cyber security

I didn’t think much about my on line security until my details were stolen from the Medibank and Optus hacks.. After some great advice from Ed @ secure konnect I’ve changed the way I personally operate, as well as how I operate my business on line. Great advice and knowledge. I feel a lot safer after implementing Ed’s protocols. Highly recommend his services.

Excellent service. Ed made everything easy to understand. Good value, excellent service.
Ed and Chris were great. I used them to guide me through my first small business cyber security review. Everything they did made sense and I am looking forward to going to the next level in 2024.
Konnect Cyber Security is the best in the business. After a significant breach of security, a virus entered my system deleting all my Business records and freezing my computers. I called Konnect. They were able to remove the virus, retrieve, clean and restore all my files. Konnect then set up what has proven to be the most effective, reliable, and foolproof security system I have ever used. A disaster averted. I now have peace of mind thanks to Konnect. DOGSLIFE - DOG WALKING AND DAY STAYS.
Highly recommend.
Using the full platinum cyber security package and very happy with it so far. Great team and service support. Would definitely recommend.
