International accreditation for Air IT

Air IT has joined a select group of security providers to receive international certification for its services.

The managed IT provider has been awarded the accreditation by CREST, a not-for-profit certification body, which represents and supports the technical information security industry while offering buyers a list of security providers they can trust.

Lee Johnson, chief technology officer at Air IT, said: “The latest government Cyber Security Breaches Survey found that 68% of SMEs were hit by a cyberattack last year.

“Cybercriminals are using the pandemic to their advantage by targeting businesses that are unprepared for the security issues associated with remote working.

“We are committed to protecting businesses from cybercrime and are proud to be accredited members of CREST, the leading organisation for cyber security experts.

“It is testament to the talent and dedication of our team, who have proven their expertise after an in-depth audit of the company’s internal processes in addition to their individual qualifications.”
