Time to Beef up your Security

Having an enjoyable a holiday and immersing oneself in the festive season can cause some of us to take the eye off the ball and become complacent when it comes to cyber security threats.

Unfortunately, the cyber criminals don't have that same Christmas loving and giving attitude and we can be certain that they have been beavering away in the background trying to find more devious and destructive ways to cause grief and losses to businesses in 2020.

Some experts have claimed that the value of cyber-crime in 2018 was over US$1.5 trillion which is far greater than we thought and if this is correct, it will be substantially higher in 2020.
With the escalating tension between Iran and the US, more cyber attacks from Iran are expected to be targeted at the US and her allies.

Make one of your business New Years resolutions to upgrade your security systems so as to reduce the risk and impact of a cyber attack.
Even with the best defences in place, people will always be the weakest link. We are human after all, we make mistakes and can be tricked into clicking on things we shouldn’t. The best form of defence for business owners is to train their staff to be able to know what is good and bad and to always be extremely vigilant.
