IT Security
43% of cyber attacks are aimed at small businesses, yet only 14% to defend themselves. With cybercrime on the rise (by 15% year-to-year), it's never been more important to take your cybersecurity strategy seriously and protect your business.
Four pillars of cyber resilience
Cybersecurity is an escalating issue for companies globally. The repercussions of cybercrime on your enterprise can be severe, leading to financial losses, tarnished reputation, operational interruptions, decreased productivity, and hardware damage. Although various cyberattacks exist, phishing, ransomware, and malware are the primary threats to Australian firms.
Businesses of all sizes, particularly small-to-medium enterprises, are vulnerable and require robust IT security measures. It's a common fallacy to assume that cybercriminals will only target larger entities for higher gains. In reality, cybercriminals do not discriminate; they often target smaller businesses due to typically less fortified cybersecurity measures.
Evaluate
While humans are the cornerstone of defense, relying solely on security awareness training won’t necessarily lead to a change in user behavior. Adopting Human Risk Management (HRM) is the comprehensive approach to cultivating a workforce that is knowledgeable and vigilant about security.
