This is the first in a series of posts that will aim to provide some initial guidance on the fundamentals of cyber security.
Here we start with what we feel is the most overlooked aspect of any security activity, especially in smaller organisations; Identifying and Assessing the Risks.
Email has been the biggest vector used in cyber-attacks for many years, with over 95% of attacks delivered using email. Which is why continuing with the basic security measures provided by email clients and services, is not enough to prevent today's modern emails attacks.
Many businesses are simply not prepared to deal with a cyber security event or breach scenario, so having a partner you can turn to when the bad times start is key.
Average time to detect a breach is still over 100 days, and recovering from an attack can be much longer. The hard sad facts are that some businesses fail to get back up and running.
Don’t be one of these organisations.
Having strong cyber defences is the core goal to start with, but no one can be 100% secure.
When things go bad every second counts - you need to be prepared to respond, both quickly and effectively. This is where Ironshare can help.
