In recent years, cybersecurity has fallen under media scrutiny. This can be attributed to a rapid increase of attacks, and a substantial impact to organisations.

 

Under the GDPR and DPA 2018, organisations must implement appropriate security measures to protect personal data - or risk substantial fines

 

Cybersecurity a critical business issue for every organisation.

​

With cyber-attacks becoming more frequent and targeted, implementing a robust cybersecurity strategy is vital.

​

The three pillars of data security

Robust cybersecurity addresses people, processes and technology.

​

1.People

Every employee needs to be aware of their role in preventing cyber threats. Cybersecurity staff need to stay up to date with the latest risks, solutions, and qualifications.

​

2.Processes

Documented processes should clearly define roles, responsibilities, and procedures. Cyber threats are constantly evolving, so processes need to be regularly reviewed.

​

3.Technology

From access controls to installing antivirus software, technology can be utilised to reduce cyber risks.

Protect your business against cyber attacks

​

A solid cybersecurity strategy is the best defence against attack. But many organisations don’t know where to begin. This is where we can help.

​

Why is cyber security important?

The costs of cyber security breaches are rising

Emerging privacy laws can mean significant fines for organisations. There are also non-financial costs to be considered, like reputational damage and business discontinuity .

​

Cyber attacks are increasingly sophisticated

Cyber attacks continue to grow in sophistication, with attackers using an ever-expanding variety of tactics. This includes social engineering, malware and ransomware (used for Petya, WannaCry and NotPetya).

 

Cyber crime is a big business

In 2018, the cyber crime economy was estimated to be worth $1.5 trillion, according to a study commissioned by Bromium. Attackers can also be driven by political, ethical or social incentives.
