Why cyber security is essential for your business
With cyber threats increasingly targeting organisations and businesses of all sizes, a robust cyber security strategy helps safeguard against data breaches, financial losses, and reputational damage. It is estimated that up to 60% of SMEs that experience a cyber-attack, cease trading within 6 months. By implementing cyber security measures to protect customer information and comply with regulations, you not only build trust but also create a secure environment for your employees and clients.
Improving your cyber security defences needn’t be hugely expensive or complicated. While it’s impossible to completely prevent all cyber-attacks, you can significantly reduce the risk to your business by implementing robust security measures and fostering a culture of cybersecurity awareness. Studies suggest that up to 80% of cyber-attacks could be prevented by implementing basic cybersecurity measures.
