Do small businesses need protection too?

We imagine hackers as having malicious intentions for a single target, but most breaches are actually caused by untargeted attacks, which scan a vast amount of networks indiscriminately for vulnerabilities.

Basic measures such as installing anti-virus and warning your staff about password strength and fraudulent emails aren’t nearly enough to provide full security against the wave of threats out there.

If a national organisation can be breached so severely with such a small mistake, then anyone and everyone is at risk.So what’s the solution?

Make sure your IT support is in proportion to the size and complexity of your business. There is too much at stake, in terms of data loss, reputational damage and fines, to be cheap about your protection.When your IT is in safe hands, you can run your business without fear of cyber threats.
