With an ever-increasing reliance on digitised information, it is easier than ever for someone to compromise your organisation. Cyber security is about more than simply installing software and avoiding phishing emails and it affects organisations regardless of size.

You often hear about large breaches but don’t hear about small business breaches affecting hundreds of customers at a time. However, these sorts of attacks occur almost daily. While some attacks can be very targeted, they are often random, opportunistic and can come from almost anywhere.

Whether in the form of seeking customer contact details, tax information, medical records or some other personally identifiable data, in the right setting the value of this data can vary exponentially. While most people think credit card data is the only data an intruder would want there is a lot of seemingly innocuous information, that when paired with other data has instant value.

By ignoring cyber security, you are not just placing your organisation at risk but your customers also.
