Eximium expands into new offices to accommodate growth

Business IT specialists Eximium have completed their move into their new office space at Regus Business Centre, Capability Green, Luton.

The decision to leave their current premises was largely down to space and the desire to have more flexibility in their accommodation.

“Our new offices offer a wide range of meeting rooms of various sizes. This means that we can meet up with clients, and offer training and workshops sessions, no matter how big the number. It’s also just off the M1 and close to Luton Airport so we can be in London, Birmingham or Glasgow for that matter, in just over an hour” comments Paula Wheatcroft, Eximium’s Operations Director.

The new office is situated in the Capability Green business development, which is the premier business park of the east of England, according to the Bedfordshire & Luton Economic Development Partnership. It is close to the M1, M25, mainline trains into Kings Cross, London and Luton Airport. Eximium will share the site with companies such as Ernst & Young, Siemens plc, Bae Systems, Anritsu & Astra Zeneca.

UK businesses under renewed attack from virus and spam attacks

According to the 2006 Annual Security Report published by MessageLabs, viruses and spam attacks are on the increase.

The key findings of the report include the frightening conclusion that spam volumes have increased by 70% in the last quarter of 2006. The outlook for 2007 looks bad for UK businesses, as they will be increasingly targeted by more malicious messaging attacks than previously.

Small to medium sized businesses are becoming a greater target, as they are often a gateway into larger organisations who they serve.

After reviewing the reports findings, Derrick Cameron, Technical Director for business IT specialist Eximium, concludes that “The report highlights just how important it is to get your email security working properly and explore new solutions”. He also feels it is vital to review security measures “A lot of attacks involve ‘social engineering’, where members of staff are manipulated into giving out secure information by people posing as employees, security staff, etc. It is important to have a clear security policy to guard your valuable information and to be vigilant against this type of attack”.

Eximium is investigating new cost effective ways to guard remotely against viruses and spam and can be contacted directly for more information on how to prevent security breaches.
