Are you cyber-ready? Take the test…
Cyber security has been the focus for a fair few of our blog posts – and with good reason! Named as the top risk facing UK SMEs in 2017, staying secure online is more crucial for businesses than ever before. Even though 93% of small businesses take some measures to protect their security, 66% have suffered a breach in the past two years.
Not having effective cyber security measures in place can be damaging for your brand in a number of ways. Data breaches can result in sensitive information being accessed, which could lead to financial implications and reputation damage, not to mention the compromising of employees’ and clients’ privacy. Whatever the specific consequences, cyber attacks are universally harmful to businesses, and their prevention should be a priority.
But with seemingly endless measures that SMEs can take to protect themselves from such threats, how can you tell if you’re cyber-ready? If you’re tech savvy you may feel you’re fully clued up on all the cyber risks facing your business. But chances are, there are vulnerabilities you might have overlooked – from underinformed employees to outdated anti-virus software, the list is endless.
Cyber security is just one piece of a much bigger puzzle and the protection of entire systems, networks and data takes a lot of work. But managed IT support services that prioritise the safeguarding of your SME against operational disruption, theft and damage to hardware and software, are available.
