We are urging local businesses to sign up for a free cybersecurity review as part of their ongoing activities during this months, Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
In our opinion, not enough small businesses in the area are adequately investing in their security safeguards. That’s despite organisations reporting losses of almost £13,000 to Suffolk Police since the start of the year due to cyber-dependent crime (source: Action Fraud dashboard)
That’s why we are offering you the opportunity to sign up for a free cybersecurity check to identify your strengths and weaknesses. We want to help you figure out what steps you need to take to keep your business safe from harm.
Cybersecurity Awareness Month is your reminder to find out how secure your business is
There’s still a mistaken belief that hackers only target large companies, but the reality is that small businesses are constantly under pressure from hackers because their defences are often much weaker. Many firms say that they can’t afford to invest in cybersecurity defences, or it’s put to the back of their to-do list as something to worry about later. But that’s taking a huge risk, and businesses can’t afford not to tackle these issues.
Dealing with the consequences of a hack or data breach will almost always be far more expensive than the costs of proactive prevention. That’s why we want to offer a free cybersecurity consultation to help local businesses understand what steps they need to take to strengthen their systems and keep themselves safe from harm.
What to expect from your cybersecurity check
During your cybersecurity consultation, we will talk to businesses across Ipswich and Colchester about your current safeguards and explain what you need to do to strengthen your resilience to the growing range of online threats.
Beyond that, we’ll also explain best practice protocols and help you understand why employee education and training are just as crucial as technical improvements.
After the consultation, our cybersecurity experts will provide a series of recommendations outlining what you need to do to ensure that they have the fundamental protections in place.
To book in for your free cybersecurity consultation, please phone us on 01473 355199.
