About FourNet

 

FourNet is one of the fastest-growing privately-owned cybersecurity specialists in the UK. Its highly secure and pioneering ANTENNA cloud platform provides communications and cybersecurity technology to more than 30 government departments and agencies, a range of UK emergency services, the National Crime Agency, local government and Critical National Infrastructure organisations.

The ANTENNA service, which was designed in partnership with the Cabinet Office, enables high trust bodies to comply with UK government cyber security, digital and data and national resilience strategies while reducing the cost to the taxpayer. ANTENNA provides services to more than 40,000 central government employees.

The shared service allows CNI organisations to procure the very latest technology in a less risky manner, with shared costs and collaborative tools, while providing value for money by sharing the burden of advancements in technology.

Hosted in top security government data centres, ANTENNA itself is classified as Critical National Infrastructure and has ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus certification. ANTENNA’s service desk has the largest team of Security Checked (SC) and Developed Vetting (DV) level security cleared engineers in the UK.

In addition, FourNet’s 24/7/365 Security Operations Centre (SOC) employs some of the most highly skilled cybersecurity experts in the UK and provides monitoring, incident response, and threat intelligence to customers around the clock, using top-tier Gartner Magic Quadrant technology and expert human analysis.

The SOC’s specialist Red and Blue teams work in tandem, constantly threat hunting and continuously scanning for vulnerabilities and security validation.

FourNet’s state-of-the-art Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform employs machine learning to detect unusual User and Entity Behaviour Analytics (UEBA), uncovering insider and incoming threats that elude traditional defences. The advanced platform provides visibility into malicious activity, identifying known and unknown risks from user errors to insider actions.

FourNet has also developed a unique solution that combines Next Generation Firewalls with an intelligent Honeypot to attract threat actors. This intelligent industry leading solution is designed to deceive, expose, and eliminate external and internal threats early in the attack kill chain and proactively block these threats before any significant damage occurs by automating the blocking of attackers targeting information technology (IT) devices and operational technology (OT) system controls.

As a multi-award-winning customer experience and digital transformation specialist, headquartered in Manchester, FourNet’s data-driven consultancy, AI-powered technology solutions and ongoing managed services delivered via the cloud helps customers protect their organisations from cyber-attacks.

Experts in cybersecurity, secure network infrastructure and Customer Experience (CX) optimisation, FourNet provides best-in-class cloud, contact centre, communication, collaboration, and security services for more than 350 customers – and holds a customer retention rate of 99.97%.
