The world of IT has changed beyond recognition in the last 25 years, some changes we cannot now live without, some we would rather never have happened. Who can tell what the next decade or 2 will bring.This changing landscape has been my day to day working environment for almost all of my working career, at times for large multinational corporations, at others smaller locally based companies. But through all of that time one thing has been clear, IT will always evolve, and if you aren't going to evolve with it then you are going to get left behind.All of the experience and knowledge that I have accrued working for Banks, Law firms and Media companies I am now able to offer to the local companies of Southern England as I now started out on my own.At the start of my career internet connections were slow and the idea of being online all day was still years away. Today even the smallest of organisatrions needs a fast connection to theinternet and the rest of the world if they are to work effectively and efficiently. This need brings with it the joint dangers of malware and cyber fraud as well as increased costs and complexity. I have helped, and continue to help organisations manage their IT needs, balancing the need to be connected against the need to stay secure.I've helped companies improve their perimeter security and endpoint protection, keeping vital information safe. Educated company employees, providing them with the vital tools needed to be able to protect themselves from email deceit, and assisted organisations in attaining certifications which prove they are secure.Certification can be confusing, but it is important and it can open additional doors to your business. This is why an increasing number of businesses use my expertise to assist them PCI DSS compliance, Cyber essentials and GDPR complaince tasks.
