OVERVIEW
Together Housing Association is one of the largest organizations of its kind in the north of England, managing over 36,000 homes across the region. As a non-profit, all the money it makes from rental properties and homes for sale are invested back into the company for the benefit of residents and local communities.
Lee Richardson has been Systems Engineer at the group for the past 12 years, scanning the market for new products which might align with Together Housing’s evolving requirements, as well as managing day-to-day server and network operations. There are two main sites with many more satellite offices and 1,500 users to manage across that IT infrastructure.
CHALLENGES
Organizations like Together Housing may not sound like the typical target for a cybercriminal. However, they’re often seen as a “soft” target that may be less well protected than commercial counterparts. According to a 2020 government survey, a quarter of charities (26%) reported having experienced cybersecurity breaches or attacks in the previous 12 months, rising to 57% for those with larger incomes. It’s a figure that’s been increasing for several years.
