In response to the escalating threat of cyber-attacks targeting industries, the Engineering Technology Group (ETG) has taken proactive steps to enhance its cybersecurity measures. As part of this effort, the UK-based company has successfully obtained Cyber Essentials certification, a government-backed initiative aimed at bolstering defenses against common cyber threats.
The attainment of Cyber Essentials certification underscores ETG’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding its personnel, business assets, and the sensitive data of its customers and suppliers. Through substantial investments in additional firmware and hardware, ETG has fortified its IT infrastructure to mitigate the risk of cyber breaches.
Garry Cooke, Operations Manager at ETG, emphasized the organization’s dedication to ensuring the highest levels of cybersecurity: “ETG prioritizes the protection of its stakeholders, and the Cyber Essentials certificate is a testament to our rigorous security measures. Implementation of two-factor authentication across all assets, both for employees and clients, reinforces our resilience against potential breaches.”
Moreover, the certification serves as a powerful assurance for ETG’s clientele, particularly those in critical industries such as aerospace, nuclear, and defense. Garry highlighted the significance of data protection in securing contracts and partnerships with esteemed organizations: “In today’s landscape, data security is paramount, especially for our blue-chip customers. Cyber Essentials accreditation not only aligns with industry standards but also fulfills the stringent requirements set forth by government contracts.”
The Cyber Essentials certification not only validates ETG’s commitment to cybersecurity but also instills confidence among its customers, ensuring that their confidential information remains safeguarded against emerging cyber threats. As ETG continues to prioritize security, this milestone reaffirms its position as a trusted partner in the realm of engineering and technology.
