Here is one important item you should know about cyber security:
Cyber-criminals are not specifically targeting your business.
Cyber-criminals have most likely never heard of you. They are targeting all businesses, all of the time.
They do this by using clever automated programmes and tools that attempt to sniff out weaknesses, and then infect your computers with malware.
Malware is a term that covers malicious software such as viruses, ransomware and spyware: which can all be debilitating.
Malware is targeted not at an individual person or a specific business. Rather it is attracted to vulnerabilities in your network. And malware is not the only threat you need to consider.
Today’s cyber-security threats are evolving all the time. Recently, the channel 9 broadcast was cancelled due to a cyber attack*.
If a large corporation such as Nine Entertainment CO. can have its business temporarily shut down, could it be worth re-evaluating the systems you have in place?
Your IT systems need to be proactively protected by professionals who care. Investing in appropriate ongoing support to protect your business is a must for businesses looking to ensure their future.
- Does your current IT support provider go out of their way to help protect your business?
- Or does it sometimes feel like you are paying for an expensive tech support helpline?
