I’ve just spent ages seshing this shit, and ended up buying 2x ‘keyed-alike’ Evva 4KS cylinders from Safelocks.
The 4KS lock is apparently much more secure than Banham (which are easy to pick for a dimple lock and grossly overpriced), Avocet etc, and Safelocks still sell them for sane prices.
I also wouldn’t get a Banham as they just scream “rob me” to anyone on the street.
Looks like the handle plate you posted already includes a security escutcheon, which helps prevent snapping/drilling attacks.
As @Airhead says, unless you have a commonly-pickable lock, then it’s brute force you need to secure against.
Whatever you do though, if someone really wants to get in, they will, and there’s not much you can truly do about it.

Looking for advice regarding front door safety...
The door frame has the pictured SKG*** Multi-point lock, which looks ok..?
But the cylinder is a Tigris Premier 3 that does not oozes confidence...
Is it worth upgrading the cylinder? If so, what would be something much safer to replace with?
