Security as Standard
When it comes to securing your business network, routers are often overlooked — quietly sitting in the corner, doing their job. But if that router is running out-of-date firmware, it could become the weakest link in your cyber defence.
That’s why our Business Broadband package includes a license to the DrayTek ACS3 controller — a powerful tool that lets us remotely monitor your network and keep your routers up to date with the latest security patches and features.
The Risks of Outdated Router Firmware
Routers running old firmware pose serious risks:
- Security Vulnerabilities
Hackers are constantly looking for ways into networks. Firmware updates often patch critical vulnerabilities that, if left unpatched, can be exploited to:- Gain unauthorised access to your network
- Eavesdrop on internet traffic
- Launch attacks against internal devices or external targets
- Non-compliance with Cyber Essentials
If your business is Cyber Essentials certified — or working toward certification — you’re required to apply security updates within 14 days of release. This includes routers, which are often forgotten during regular update cycles. - Performance and Stability Issues
Firmware updates don’t just fix security flaws — they often improve performance, fix bugs, and ensure compatibility with modern devices and services. - Loss of Control or Remote Hijacking
Some router vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to take full control of your device. That could mean reconfiguring your network, redirecting your traffic, or locking you out entirely.
