Cybersecurity
Reducing Risk to Your Business
By far the biggest risk to your business is a cybersecurity incident. You need to protect yourself from this ever evolving, ever present threat. From bedroom hackers to state sponsored groups, everyone is a target and no-one is safe. But here’s the good news… Get this right and you’ve got yourself the best foundation on which to build your business.
What You’re Up Against
Well, the stats don’t look great, but they do help aid an informed decision. They tell us that the single biggest risk of a security or data breach is people. Too many businesses neither see themselves as data handlers or as a potential target.
Complacency or lack of awareness is what hackers count on and make it more likely that you’ll be on the wrong side of the 30% of businesses that go under each year due to cyber crime. Recognition of the value your data represents to bad actors who get access to it and taking a pragmatic look at how you can turn risk into a more secure foundation on which to build, turns vulnerability into opportunity. Not only can you set yourself up to remain as agile as those trying to capitalise on finding weaknesses, but you can also uncover potential to free up more resource for additional efficiency, innovation and customer success.
Is That Really Bad?
All it takes is simple email asking one of your staff to open a shared document for things to go pear-shaped. Hacks are sent out on mass, often using purposefully bad grammar as a targeting strategy to identify accounts more susceptible to link-clicking . Once a link is clicked, passwords and Multi Factor Authentication codes entered, that’s it – that account is breached and can be used to access all associated contacts and company data.
Hackers use clever, constantly evolving techniques to get to you. The good news is there are things you can do protect your business right away – take a look here.
How Does That Affect You?
This question can find you going down rabbit holes that aren’t always helpful and can keep you up at night. Taking a proper look at this, and not through the cracks in your fingers will help turn any overwhelm or avoidance response into empowerment and positive action.
To help get a clearer picture of what a security breach could mean for you, check out our cyber security widget below.
Start by selecting your scary headline of choice on the left, scan across for an idea of how much that could cost if it happened, and how our service would stop this. At the bottom of the widget there’s a summary of the tools and services we use to deliver this protection.
ToMaS, our chat companion, will keep a log of this if you like and help you build a broader business case based on additional problems we can solve for you.
Business Case Builder: Risk Level Calculator
Pick the cyber scenario that worries you most and the widget below shows you the real financial and operational fallout – from ransom demands to GDPR fines — alongside how our protection would stop it in its tracks. The GDPR figure comes straight from the ICO’s own UK fining guidance; the ransom and fraud figures draw on a mix of UK reporting and larger international datasets, since the full picture only really comes together when you combine both. Run it as a standalone reality check on your risk exposure, or feed it into a broader case for investment — ToMaS is on hand to walk you through the scenarios either way.
