The importance of security in the digital first world
A UK business faces a cyberattack every 45 seconds.
If a hacker or malicious software gains access to your device and your private documents are not password protected, then you could lose and leak that important information.
For most businesses a cyber attack results in reputational and financial damage. According to the latest UK Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2022, the average estimated cost of a cyber attack on UK businesses is between £4,200 and £20,000.
The report also shows that the most common threat vector by far was phishing attempts (83%). Phishing attacks involve malicious emails being sent to staff to withdraw sensitive information or direct recipients to fraudulent websites. This type of attack has been continuing to rise.
A crucial takeaway from these findings is the importance of staff vigilance and embedding cyber security awareness into business culture. Human error remains the biggest cyber security risk to all businesses – 95% of security breaches are caused by human error.
