DefenderCore introduces policy-driven security enforcement, access controls, and compliance alignment, ensuring your organisation remains resilient against evolving cyber threats while meeting Essential Eight Maturity Level 1 and Cyber Security Act 2024 requirements.

Enforcing Strong Security Measures

Overview:

DefenderCore enhances security by enforcing policy-driven controls, restricting unauthorised access, and reducing vulnerabilities. With audit-mode enforcement, application control, and legacy authentication blocking, DefenderCore ensures your organisation is protected from cyber threats while meeting compliance requirements under the Cyber Security Act 2024.

Key Benefits:
  1. Application Control & AppLocker Policy Enforcement: Restricts unauthorised applications and prevents execution of untrusted software, reducing security risks.
  2. Low-Impact Security Enforcement: Gradually applies security controls in audit mode before full enforcement, ensuring a smooth security transition without disrupting operations.
  3. Blocking Legacy Authentication & Strengthening Login Security: Eliminates outdated authentication methods, reducing exposure to credential-based attacks.

Minimising Risks with Proactive Security

Overview:

Unsecured applications, outdated software, and unchecked security settings create hidden entry points for attackers. DefenderCore eliminates these weak spots by blocking malicious macros, restricting high-risk applications, and enforcing low-impact security policies that prepare your organisation for stricter security enforcement—without sudden disruptions.

Key Benefits:
  1. Office Macros Blocking & Exploit Prevention: Automatically stops malicious macros from executing, reducing the risk of phishing-based malware and ransomware attacks.
  2. Application & Browser Hardening: Blocks Internet Explorer, Flash, and outdated Java versions, ensuring attackers can't exploit old software vulnerabilities.
  3. Security Policy Auditing Before Enforcement: Deploys security configurations in audit mode first, allowing businesses to review and adapt security settings before full enforcement.

Ongoing Protection Without the Overhead

Overview:

Cybersecurity is not a one-time fix—it requires ongoing updates and policy enforcement to stay ahead of emerging threats. DefenderCore ensures your systems are always patched, monitored, and optimised with automated security updates, vulnerability management, and access control enforcement. This hands-off approach lets your business stay compliant and secure without extra effort.

Key Benefits:
  1. Automated Updates & Patch Management: Ensures Windows and third-party applications stay up to date, reducing exposure to security vulnerabilities.
  2. Access Control & Security Policy Enforcement: Maintains application whitelisting, MFA requirements, and login restrictions to ensure consistent security posture.

    Aligns your systems with Essential Eight Maturity Level 1, helping meet the Cyber Security Act 2024 compliance requirements without disrupting operations.
