Every person counts when making your business cyber secure

Eighty per cent of cyber security breaches occur as a result of human error – and protecting your organisation from cyber-attack is key to safeguarding your business and its profits.

The risk is real and in the news on a daily basis, with cyber security breaches reported regularly, costing businesses both their profits and their reputation.

Employees across your business play a key role in protecting against a breach – from entry level staff who often act as the gatekeepers to your data, all the way through to CEOs and business owners – decision makers who have access to valuable information and financial assets. With employee behaviour playing a key role in the mitigation of cyber-breach risks, the correct training, awareness and culture of security could make the difference between a successful cyber-attack and the protection of your digital assets.
