Is Your Business Protected Against Cyber Attacks? 

In the modern age, technology is the lifeblood of almost every business. Any disruption to your IT systems is likely to seriously impact your ability to service your customers and is likely to cost you considerable money.

A leading insurer reports that over 40% of UK businesses were the victim of a cyber attack between 2019-2020. This shows that it’s not a case of “if” but “when” your business will be targeted. An IBM 2020 report discovered that the average cost of a data breach in 2020 was $4.24 million (£3.15 million), an amount very few businesses can afford to lose. To ensure you do not end up as a statistic, it is important to put in the correct protection to safeguard your IT systems today.

What is Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials is a Government backed scheme to help protect organisations of all sizes against the most common cyber / security attacks. Cyber attacks take many different forms, from phishing attacks, whaling attacks and email spoofing to malware and ransomware.

In addition, Cyber Essentials is mandatory when bidding for certain Government and MOD contracts (this may also affect you if you are sub-contracting to a larger provider). The reason is that the government and MOD want to see proof that their suppliers are following best practices and are taking steps to keep their sensitive data safe.

By utilising the 5 key controls of boundary firewalls / internet gateways, secure configuration, access control, malware protection and patch management, Cyber Essentials checks that you have a comprehensive level of protection in all key areas of IT.

With Cyber Essentials in place, your business is being proactive in taking a major step towards protecting your IT systems from outside threats and showing the world you take cyber security seriously.
