Cyber Security Awareness Month: How to protect your business
With the uncertain security outlook for the world, it is now more important than ever to determine if your company is doing enough to secure its future.
Cyber security is a constant consideration, and cutting corners could be disastrous.
Cyber crime has grown to a level that was unimaginable a decade back.
The Government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey for this year found that half of UK businesses had experienced some type of cyber attack or breach in the last 12 months.
For medium-sized and large organizations, the figures are higher at 70% and 74%.
84% of businesses have experienced phishing attacks, which is an attempt to steal sensitive data, usually via email.
Anyone running a small or large business should review their preparedness.
Cybersecurity Awareness Month is October, and this year’s theme “Secure our World” provides a great opportunity to get started.
Jack Hayes is the founder of The Cyber Security Speakers Agency, which has assisted multiple businesses in implementing strategies to mark Cyber Security Awareness Month.
Cybersecurity Awareness Month, an international campaign aimed at educating everyone about online safety, is a great time for companies to review their strategy.
It is designed to empower users to protect their data against cyber criminals, and reminds them that there are easy and effective ways to stay safe.
This is the time of year that organisations should talk to their employees about cybersecurity.
Jack shared his five best tips on how to spark a discussion about this topic in the workplace.
- Cyber security champions: Encourage your employees
- Share the details of past events that may be helpful in identifying challenges to come.
- Documents that highlight important issues and stimulate discussion can be circulated internally.
- Promoting free educational materials and resources provided by think tanks and organisations
- Host a workshop or hire a speaker who can speak about cyber security.
