Cybersecurity threats are no longer a matter of “if” but “when,” especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (sme) in the UK. One recent case involving a professional services SME highlights how quickly things can escalate and how the right telecom security measures can make all the difference.
The Scenario: A Close Call
The company, operating across three UK locations, noticed irregularities in their VoIP system. Calls were being redirected, strange audio glitches occurred, and mobile data usage spiked unnaturally. Initially assumed to be a technical fault, further investigation revealed unauthorised access to their communications platform.
The Threat
Hackers had gained limited access through an outdated router and unprotected VoIP endpoint. The breach could have exposed sensitive client data and internal communications if left unchecked.
Enter Your Comms Group
The business contacted Your Comms Group’s cybersecurity team. Within 48 hours, our engineers had:
- Conducted a full telecom security audit
- Deployed Bitdefender Advanced Threat Security across all devices
- Replaced their outdated VoIP hardware with a secure VoIP Phone System
- Introduced Mobile Device Management to monitor employee smartphones and tablets
These solutions stopped the breach in its tracks, and no client data was lost.
