It’s Cyber Security Awareness Month, and in our last newsletter we warned about the 4 biggest cyber threats to look out for.
In this newsletter, we wanted to highlight some good news. This is our list of positive developments in cyber with an eye toward mid-sized businesses.
1. It’s actually not rocket science.
It’s still the case that most successful cyber attacks exploit basic mistakes and technical weaknesses. And these lapses can be simply addressed by good leadership.
2. The government gets it
Whatever its other faults, the government shows focus on resilience with its recent plans, strategies and frameworks. Additionally, funding to CyberASAP will support more research and innovation in cyber security.
3. Cyber coverage seems to be getting cheaper
Reports show pricing is down across the UK and EU.
4. Awareness is working
More businesses are seeking Cyber Essentials certification, and companies up and down the supply chain are realizing they’re merely as safe as their own partners. High-profile hacks, while damaging, are demonstrating the importance of protecting mid-sized businesses.
Good news indeed. But if you’re still concerned about your own business, we’re offering a Cyber security masterclass for CEOs and CFOs on 22 October, 12:30-13:30pm UK. It’s an hour that will provide you with the practical steps you can take to promote cyber resilience in your business.
You’re always welcome to contact us for a no-pressure chat about cyber security or anything else tech/strategy-related in your business.
