Is your business protected against cyber crime?

Proudly serving Waterloo for over 10 years

Rational Business Solutions is your trusted local provider of two-factor authentication and multi-factor authentication solutions in the Waterloo area. With 2FA/Multi-FA authentication, you can be confident that the integrity of your company and customer data are well-protected against cybercriminals. Unlike password logins, which just use a username and password, 2FA/MFA authentication requires users to complete extra verification steps before logging in. These additional authentication measures increase security, provide access control, help meet regulatory requirements, and eliminate password risks.

Cyber security risks in today’s world are as certain as death and taxes. Rational Business Solutions is here to help

It’s not a question of “if” hackers will attempt to compromise your IT system, but “when.” The transformation to digital data has become a big business for criminals. Organized crime groups and bad nations are forming smart fraud schemes

In the near future, the number of these attacks will only continue to grow. The best line of defense is to have security warriors like Rational Business Solutions in your corner.

Expert IT security

To stay ahead of these online criminals, companies have to follow more than a cookie-cutter approach. They need a team that can design a custom solution for their business.
 
But preventive measures can only go so far. Businesses also need complete security information and event management (SIEM).
 
Because of the risks, companies must take the matter of their endpoint security more seriously. The pandemic has increased the need for remote work. This, in turn, now increases the risk of compromise through client devices.
 
The need to protect a network from remote devices is high. Companies are seeing the benefit of allowing staff to bring their own devices to work. But these personal devices that access company resources are a risk. So, businesses also need to adopt network security best practices. This includes using a virtual private network (VPN).
 
At Rational Business Solutions, we use VPNs to provide end-to-end protection for data passing through networks. We can harden your websites with secure sockets layers to provide end-to-end encryption too.

IT security services should focus on any method of attack that can weaken an organization. At Rational Business Solutions, we can help you address these areas of security:

Antivirus software:

Cyberattacks come in many forms. Some operate in secret. They will delete, corrupt or encrypt vital data. So, you need support on the best antivirus that can detect signs of weird behavior.

Data loss prevention (DLP)

You need to protect your company’s sensitive data. By setting up DLP technologies, a security consultant from Rational Business Solutions can prevent employees — whether accidentally or purposely — from sharing outside of the business network. You can protect your files from being downloaded, uploaded or forwarded to bad actors.

Email security

Email is hackers’ favorite means of phishing and social engineering attacks. It’s a prime target for bad actors due to its rich attack vectors. They are included through suspect links, scams and malware attachments.

Information security planning

This is crucial to driving proper security policy development for an organization. We design security policies that fit your business goals while reducing risks.

Cloud support services

The cloud is the main platform for software as a service (SaaS) applications. Therefore, cloud management needs new support skillsets for security with scalability.

Mobile security

Our cyber security consultants understand the danger that mobile devices pose. Technical network segmentation might be required to limit access to networks. This maintains employees are authorized to carry out functions.

Technical reports

As part of our support services, we provide official papers on our test findings. We go to great lengths to make sure your team understands their meaning in simple language. This equips them with the actionable intelligence they need to succeed.
