Managed Cyber Security for Every Business
Enterprise grade cyber security, no matter the size of your business
J2 is an award-winning Cyber Security Focused Services Provider. Founded in 2006 we serve 700+ customers on 5 continents.
Users
Reports tell us 80% of cyber losses come about because of 8% of users.
Users – you and I – we are the weakest link in the fight against cyber criminals and with the right support we can be the strongest.
J2 starts with Users because we are the connection to every other area of digital risk in the cyber resilience framework. We use email, interact with the data, work on the machines and use the internet every single day.
Security controls must support where the user works from:
- User Activity Monitoring
- Awareness Training
- User Access Controls
- Multi-Factor Authentication
- Password Analysis
- Productivity Measurement
Practical cyber resilience ensures that we secure the user and your business. Get in touch to talk about how we can secure your users today.
Do not become a victim of cyber crime because you lack visibility of user activity.
Over 90% of successful cyber attacks start in email.
Email is the most widely used business application in the modern workplace. It is also the most targeted.
Email is used to process orders, confirm bookings, send invoices and provides almost immediate capability to service your customers.
Cyber criminals target email because they understand the value they can unlock by breaking into your email environment. Using social engineering to trick your users or targeting misconfigurations they climb in to see what damage they can cause.
Let our experts secure your email, with services that provide coverage that fits your business whether you need to bolster security, ensure business continuity and backup of email, need enhanced compliance capabilities or want to ensure that your email is delivered securely. Securing the collaboration enabled by Microsoft 365. #letstalk.

Data
Data is the lifeblood of your business and today it is all digital. It is your competitive edge.
Cyber criminals know this and this is why they want to access, steal, destroy and encrypt your data to make you pay a ransom to get it back. Add to this the cost of regulatory fines, restoration and the reputational damage that comes from a data breach there is no option but to ensure resilience to keep your data secure.
#letstalk and have our expert team give you the protection you need
- Behavioural Data Loss Prevention understand intent before the data is stolen
- Insider Risk Management – to identify insider threats from malicious insiders or misguided or accidental usage.
- Managed Data Encryption – protecting your data at rest, or in use. Ensuring compliance with regulations.
- Proper Data Backup – we will make sure you have managed backup, with human confirmation, to allow you to recover from all unforeseen incidents.
- Data Destruction – when you no longer need to keep data, want to recycle hardware and make sure that your data is not accessed by unauthorised people.
Data resilience is in place to secure data through the journey through your business.
Machines
Everything you use in your business “lives” on a machine. Whether this is a stand-alone access control device, point-of-sale, server, desktop or laptop. These machines either sit within your business or somewhere out in the cloud.
These machines are all a possible entry point for an attacker. Cyber resilience for machines requires visibility of activity and the access to that machine for security and compliance, no matter where your people work from.
Do not let an unprotected machine be compromised. This will lead to massive losses through data theft, ransomware or operational downtime.
You cannot protect what you cannot see.
The expert team at J2 are here to protect your machines, the data on it and the users who access them, #letstalk.
- Managed Detection & Response – traditional end point protection is no longer enough. Gain extra visibility with the added security of our team of experts keeping an eye on your machines 24 hours a day.
- Patch Management – keeping your machines up to date automatically to prevent the exploitation of vulnerabilities.
- Full Disk Encryption and Device Level MFA – stop unauthorised users from getting on your machines and enhance compliance reporting.
- Machine Usage Analytics
- Enforce Location and Network Based Security Controls
Internet
The internet connects your business to the world and cyber criminals to your business. All parts of our business use the internet today. This is how we get our message out to customers and where we procure services.
We use the internet to connect outside services to internal resources to enable remote work.
Our users access email and send data across it and our machines are constantly connected to it.
Without basic controls, you will experience a compromise. We will work with you to ensure effective controls and secure access to the internet. We enable secure work from anywhere, within policy, without stopping creativity.
Securing the internet in your environment means first knowing where your risks are. The J2 Cyber Risk Assessment will show you how cyber criminals will find and exploit gaps in your environment to target and attack your business over the internet.
- Stop users from accessing dangerous websites
- Zero Trust Network and Internet Access
- Secure all digital assets across the internet
Securing your publicly visible resources and internet means a secure business.

Why Your Business Needs a Cyber Risk Assessment
Most businesses think they know their weaknesses. Attackers prove otherwise.
A Cyber Risk Assessment shows your environment exactly as an attacker sees it, the blind spots, the misconfigurations, the forgotten accounts and the weak points that automated and AI attacks exploit in minutes.
Small gaps create big breaches: outdated passwords, over-privileged users, unsecured cloud apps, unmonitored logins. These are the cracks ransomware walks straight through.
Resilience starts with visibility. You cannot protect what you cannot see.
If you hold customer data, personal records, images, video, IP or operational systems, treat this as your wake-up call.
Hackers already know your weaknesses.
Do you?

You Can’t Defend What You Can’t See
Hackers already know your weaknesses. Do you?
While many organisations invest in firewalls, antivirus and backups, far fewer have a clear, up to date picture of where their real digital vulnerabilities sit.
A J2 cyber risk assessment changes that.
It looks at your environment through an attacker’s eyes: how would they break in, what could they access, and how far could they go before anyone noticed?
Our j2 security specialists map your systems, people and processes, then deliver a practical, prioritised roadmap to close the most critical gaps first.
This matters because nearly half of UK and SA businesses now report at least one cyber incident each year, with thousands of SMEs facing disruption, data loss and direct financial damage.
Our detailed cyber risk assessment helps you move from vague concern to concrete action: tightening access controls, hardening internet facing services, improving backups and sharpening your incident response.
If you don’t know where your organisation’s digital risk is, you are leaving that discovery to an attacker. Now is the time to bring those blind spots into the light, before someone else exploits them.
If you want practical, real-world protection J2 can help you build cyber resilience where it matters, with your people.
Build resilience now, let’s talk.

TODAY = Black Friday Scams: The Human Factor
Today and Monday = Black Friday and Cyber Monday and they aren’t just retail events, they’re open season for cybercriminals.
Every year, attackers use this peak period to launch industrial-scale scams powered by automation, AI and stolen data. This isn’t guesswork — we see the attack patterns across multiple clients, every single November.
Here’s the top 5 of what’s coming:
1. Fake login pages from retailers you trust
Amazon, PayPal, Apple, eBay, Takealot, Argos, Currys, JD Sports…
Criminals clone them pixel-for-pixel and send “order alerts” that demand logins.
2. The SMS surge
“Your package is being held.”
“Your Black Friday order has been cancelled.”
“Please re-verify your delivery address.”
All engineered to steal personal details and payment info.
3. Deepfake vishing
AI-generated voices pretending to be banks, retailers, couriers — even your finance team.
The aim? To bypass your caution using urgency, authority and trust.
4. Fake deals that redirect to malware
If it looks too good to be true, it is.
Malicious ads, sponsored links and manipulated search results are rampant during this period.
5. A perfect storm for business compromise
• Retail traffic surges
• Employees get busier
• Security attention drops
This is when attackers slip into inboxes, cloud platforms and shared drives — unnoticed.
Here’s the truth:
Most Black Friday compromises happen because users are distracted, rushed or trying to act quickly.
Awareness is the difference between safety and disaster.
That’s why J2 continually reinforces the same message:
Visibility + Awareness = Resilience.
Now is the time to:
• Warn your teams about Black Friday risks.
• Monitor for anomalous logins and MFA fatigue attacks.
• Lock down access rights.
• Strengthen your human firewall.
• Ensure your detection and backup strategies are solid.
Criminals are ready for Black Friday.
Are you?

Black Friday: Prime Time for Cybercrime
With Black Friday and Cyber Monday fast approaching, businesses and consumers are about to enter the single most dangerous period of the online shopping year.
Because where money flows fast, cybercriminals gather faster.
This is the season where phishing, smishing, vishing, spoofed retail sites, fake invoices, and cloned Amazon/eBay/retailer logins all spike dramatically. Every year, attacks become more convincing, more personalised and more automated.
The attack patterns we’re already seeing include:
• Emails and SMS messages pretending to be failed deliveries, order confirmations, returns, refunds or “exclusive deals.”
• Fake retailer websites that look identical to Amazon, Currys, Takealot, eBay or UK high-street brands.
• Vishing calls impersonating “fraud teams” from major banks or couriers.
• Malicious ads and sponsored results designed to hijack your search clicks.
• AI-generated “customer service agents” asking for login details or 2FA codes.
And remember:
Criminals don’t just target consumers, they target businesses.
This time of year is perfect for stealing employee credentials, overriding MFA via fatigue attacks, compromising email accounts and launching Business Email Compromise (BEC) scams.
The most successful attacks begin with one thing: the user.
That’s why the strongest defence isn’t a firewall or an antivirus system — it’s a human firewall supported by visibility, awareness and rapid detection.
J2 recommends businesses:
• Run urgent refresher awareness training for staff.
• Warn teams that “urgent deals” = danger.
• Tighten access controls and monitor unusual login behaviour.
• Review backup and data-resilience procedures.
• Increase phishing simulation frequency ahead of the retail surge.
Criminals prepare months in advance for this period.
If awareness isn’t part of your defence, you’re already behind.
If you want to protect your people, your data and your customers this Black Friday/Cyber Monday, J2 can help you build resilience fast.

Admin123 Opened 20 States to Hackers; and No One Should Be Surprised
The maternity-hospital CCTV breach isn’t an isolated event.
Investigators discovered something far worse: cameras across hospitals, schools, offices and homes in 20 states were hacked using the same default password = Admin123.
This wasn’t just a privacy failure.
It was an industry-wide breakdown of basic security hygiene.
Let’s be clear:
1. CCTV & physical systems are NOT “IT extras”
They sit on home, office, organisational and production networks, store personal footage, and are fully accessible to attackers. If you don’t secure them, you’re offering criminals a free entry point.
2. People assume cameras don’t matter, but attackers know they do
CCTV footage is emotional, personal and often high-impact when stolen. That makes it valuable to criminals and damaging for victims.
3. Relying on prevention alone is not resilience
If you can’t see probing activity, suspicious access attempts or configuration tampering, you cannot stop the breach before it escalates.
The difference between a contained incident and a public disaster is visibility – those crucial minutes when attackers first touch your environment.
This breach also exposes a more uncomfortable truth:
Too many organisations protect what they think is important and ignore everything else.
Attackers target what YOU ignore.
At J2 Software, we help organisations:
✔ Map their entire attack surface
✔ Monitor all connected devices (including cameras)
✔ Deploy early-warning sensors to detect intruders
✔ Build resilience programmes that stop incidents before they explode into headlines
You cannot protect what you cannot see.
If your organisation holds images, video or sensitive personal data, treat this as the urgent warning it is.
Talk to us. We’ll help you fix the blind spots before criminals find them.

When CCTV Is Hacked, It’s Not Just Data — It’s People
The recent breach at a maternity hospital in Gujarat, India where CCTV footage of women in intimate examinations was leaked and sold online, is a stark reminder of how fragile many organisations’ defences truly are.
The root cause?
A server protected by the password Admin123…
…a password also found on CCTV systems used across hospitals, schools, offices and even private homes in 20 states. attackers used automated tools to exploit these credentials on a massive scale.
This wasn’t a “sophisticated cyber strike.”
This was a preventable failure born from weak controls, blind spots, and assumptions that physical systems are “low risk.”
Here are the three truths every organisation must acknowledge:
1. Sensitive data is MUCH broader than you think
Images, video, CCTV, audio and even access-control logs are deeply personal. When breached, the harm is instant and traumatic.
2. Cameras & IoT devices ARE part of your attack surface
If it’s connected, it’s a target.
If it has a password, it can be cracked.
If it sits on your network, it can be exploited.
Most organisations lock down their servers but leave their physical systems unguarded — and attackers walk straight in.
3. Early detection decides whether you contain an incident… or become the headline
Attackers probe before they strike. Without real-time monitoring, behavioural alerts or deception tech, you will not know they are inside until it’s too late.
This incident should be a national wake-up call.
If you record humans — staff, patients, customers, students — you carry a duty of protection. Weak passwords and unmonitored devices are not “minor oversights”; they are breaches waiting to happen.
At J2 Software, we map your real attack surface (including cameras and physical systems), deliver continuous monitoring, and give you visibility where you currently have none.

Over 3.4 Billion Phishing Emails Are Being Sent Per Day In 2025.
Phishing in 2025 isn’t amateur hour anymore. In 2025 alone 73% of organisations globally, reported at least one successful phishing attempt this year.
It’s a multi-layered, AI-powered assault on trust, business processes and human behaviour, and nobody is immune.
…And beware – Black Friday 2025 lands on Friday, 28th November and with it there will be millions of Phishing Emails .
Forget the clumsy scams and dodgy grammar of the past. Today’s phishing attacks leverage deepfakes, automation, and real-time adaptive content. They’re engineered to bypass technical controls and manipulate people, because people are the new perimeter.
Every new report tells the same story:
• AI-written emails with near-perfect language
• Deepfake audio and video attacks multiplying overnight
• Adaptive phishing campaigns scaling with machine efficiency
• Billions lost, reputations destroyed, supply chains halted
Whether you’re a solo entrepreneur, an SME or part of a multinational, staying ahead of phishing trends is no longer optional; it’s essential.
Reactive security isn’t enough. You need adaptive technology, smarter training, and rapid response.
YOU NEED TO HAVE RESILIENCE
At J2 Software, we help organisations build real resilience with visibility, education and proactive defence against the most advanced phishing campaigns on the planet.
Phishing in 2025 is a test of your business’s survival instincts and Black Friday is coming. Don’t let it be Black Friday for the wrong reasons.
Are you ready to defend your reputation, protect your customers, and stay operational when attackers strike?
Now is the time to build resilience, not excuses.
If you want to understand what true resilience looks like in practice, let’s talk.
