Why should I care about cyber crime?

The worrying fact is that, 60% of small to medium businesses hit by a cyber security attack, simply never recover. So, the future of your entire business could depend on your web security.

£4.6 trillion a year is how much cyber attacks will cost business, worldwide, by 2021! When it comes to website security, prevention is always cheaper than the cure.

After all, the results of cyber crime on a business can include:

• Compromised data: Hackers can capture your customers’ personal and financial information.
• Damaged reputation: You can be blamed for not taking enough preventative steps and customers will lose faith in your business.
• Financial repercussions: The damage caused by a cyber attack cuts both ways – it impacts on the customer and there are the longer-term repercussions for your business – which can include GDPR penalties and lawsuits.

So what would an example of a cyber attack actually look like? Hackers are endlessly inventive when it comes to finding ways to breach your website security. So it’s not just your site you need to be concerned about. Also consider vulnerabilities in:

• Your supply chain: Might your suppliers be the weak link in your security chain?
• Internet of Things: From virtual assistants to digital locks and smart meters – are all of your IoT devices secure?
• Your data pool: Make sure that you control access to your systems, otherwise your data pool could be leaking.
• Your printers: Your multifunction printers could be printing an invite to hackers.
