Reliable high-speed internet is critical for SMEs to remain competitive and operationally efficient. Connectivity powers customer engagement, cloud-based services, remote work capabilities, and digital transformation initiatives. As businesses grow, their bandwidth needs inevitably increase, making scalable, future-proof solutions essential for long-term success. Dagmara Nowak, Pre-Sales Manager at Virgin Media Business, discusses the role of fibre networks, cybersecurity challenges, and businesses’ need to invest in robust security measures.
“Fibre networks offer superior speeds, lower latency, and more reliable service compared to traditional copper-based connections, making them ideal for modern businesses. As companies increasingly rely on cloud-based applications and data-heavy processes, the need for a robust fibre network becomes even more critical, ensuring seamless operations.”
Virgin Media Business delivers high-speed internet through an extensive and rapidly expanding fibre network that serves businesses in both urban and rural areas across Ireland. The company also provides enterprise-grade fibre solutions tailored to meet unique business needs.
Businesses also face escalating cybersecurity risks. As companies grow, they become more attractive to cybercriminals, particularly for Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, which can cause significant downtime. Poorly secured networks amplify the risk of data theft, fraud, and operational disruption.
“Even with the best internet connectivity, businesses can be crippled by cyber threats if they lack advanced protection services,” comments Dagmara. “Recognising this, Virgin Media Business provides proactive DDoS mitigation services designed to shield businesses from large-scale attacks. These services detect and neutralise threats before they cause disruptions, ensuring constant uptime and performance.”
The company also offers Secured SIP solutions, which protect voice communications by encrypting Voice over IP channels. This ensures that sensitive conversations remain secure from unauthorised access, complying with data protection regulations.
Fast, reliable internet is only part of the equation. Medium to Large Enterprises require robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard data, communications, and operations from evolving threats. Virgin Media Business empowers MLEs to operate confidently, knowing their networks and voice communications are secured against malicious attacks.
As a Tier 1 service provider, it’s a trusted partner for SMEs and MLEs seeking growth through enhanced digital connectivity. By focusing equally on connectivity and security, Virgin Media enables Irish businesses to thrive in a challenging digital landscape.
With advanced DDoS protection and Secured SIP services, businesses can safeguard their assets and fully harness the potential of digital infrastructure. Virgin Media’s commitment to fibre expansion and security equips businesses of all sizes to innovate, scale, and succeed in the era of digital transformation.
