With the CNC Cyber Essentials and Patch Management Scheme
Cybercrime is now the most commom form of crime worldwide. All businesses are threatened by this constant and evolving threat. The cyber criminals are always trying to be one step ahead.
The Office for National Statistics reports that over six million cyber-enabled fraud and cyber-crimes were committed in the last year in England and Wales.
The cost of cyber fraud to the UK private sector is now estimated to be over 22bn - with the average security breach costing anywhere between 75,000 and 311,000.
Criminals gain access using a range of techniques, including deception to trick people into revealing passwords. And spyware that records log-in details. It is imperative that your staff are educated in the way that cyber criminals work, because technology can only go so far in protecting you and your business. Your staff are the frontline in preventing your business from being attacked.
23% of internet users are still opening Phishing Emails! Make sure your staff know how to identify a phishing email, and that they never open an email they are unsure of.
On average it is 231 days before you know you have been hacked! A lot of critical information can be stolen and misused during this time period.
The good news is that the government and industry bodies are actively helping businesses protect themselves, with the Cyber Essentials scheme.
Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials is a government-backed, industry supported scheme to help organisations protect themselves against common cyber-attacks.
It provides a clear statement of the basic controls all organisations should implement in order to mitigate the risk from common internet based threats, within the context of the Government's 10 Steps to Cyber Security.
These include:
- Network Security
- User Education and Awareness
- Access control and user privilege management
- Patch management
- Malware protection
- Removable media controls
We recognise that not every business has the necessary skills and resources to address this business-critical issue.
