Cyber Security And Your Small Business
2
  • Reducing the risk of a cyber style attack on your
    business (and ideally preventing them from
    occurring at all), is the job of effective cyber
    security, and protecting your business from the
    deliberate exploitation of systems, networks and
    technologies is of crucial importance.
  • What are some of the consequences of a cyber
    style attack on businesses?
  • These kinds of attacks are usually carried out
    with the intention of inflicting damage to a
    business, or expropriating information that may
    enable the criminal(s) to steal payment card
    data, customer details or

3
  • company secrets and intellectual property. They
    may also try to gain unauthorised access to
    networks that enables them to compromise official
    records, or cause financial and/or reputational
    damage to the business they have targeted.
  • Naturally, these consequences are serious and can
    result in businesses being forced to close
    temporarily, or even permanently if the financial
    repercussions or reputational damage has been too
    severe.

  • Why are we seeing more and more crimes of this
    nature?
  • As with many criminals, they will target people
    or businesses who have weaknesses in their
    technological systems that they can exploit with
    minimum risk to themselves, and with the many
    millions of dollars being lost to such types of
    crime every year, it has become a huge and
    worrying industry. These criminals are also
    working relentlessly to evolve and improve their
    methods of causing misery to legitimate
    businesses, and law enforcement agencies are
    struggling to keep up.

5
  • Attacks of a cyber nature also come in many
    different forms and are intended to target
    weaknesses such as outdated software, or
    individual employees, such as those who may click
    on a malicious link sent to them in an email.
    With many victims from all walks of life, keeping
    up with the criminals is fast becoming a losing
    battle.
  • How can you protect your small business from a
    cyber style attack?
  • One of the best and safest ways of ensuring that
    your small business doesnt fall prey to cyber
    crime, is to engage with the services of a
    professional company offering IT services, and
    have them set you up with a comprehensive cyber
    security system.

6
  • As each small business will have a different set
    of cyber security needs, its important that
    these be addressed fully before any kind of
    system to protect the business, can be put into
    place. A retail business, for example, will have
    a whole set of completely different cyber
    security needs than a healthcare professional. An
    IT company will be able to assess your needs
    thoroughly and provide you with a system that
    protects what is most vital to you and your
    business, at a cost that can be negotiated.
  • With the potential for real financial and
    reputational damage when your business is
    attacked by cyber criminals, having a security
    system in place

7
  • as quickly as possible, is the only way to
    safeguard your assets and/or valuable and
    sensitive data. Never underestimate the
    seriousness of this new wave of crime, and do
    your utmost to ensure that your business never
    becomes a victim of cyber crime.
