IT Security for your Business

Even smaller companies with simple websites are not immune to cyberattacks. Watering hole attacks, for instance, target websites frequently visited by employees, making even the smallest businesses vulnerable

The financial impact of a computer breach can be staggering:

Direct Costs: These include expenses for detection, containment, and recovery, which can average around $4.88 million globally

Indirect Costs: Lost business due to downtime, customer churn, legal fallout and reputational damage can significantly affect revenue.

Hidden Costs: Legal fees, increased insurance premiums, and public relations efforts to manage the fallout can add up quickly

Don't let your business be an easy target. Invest in robust cybersecurity measures to protect your assets and maintain your reputation.

Cybercriminals often gain initial access to a network through methods like phishing emails or exploiting vulnerabilities. Once inside, they move laterally across the network, escalating privileges and identifying valuable data. It doesn't take long for them to deploy ransomware, encrypting critical files and demanding payment for their release. The swift transition from initial breach to full-blown ransomware attack can leave businesses scrambling to respond, highlighting the importance of robust cybersecurity measures and rapid incident detection.

The impact of a ransomware attack can be devastating for businesses, especially smaller ones. According to studies, as many as 60% of small businesses that suffer a cyberattack, such as ransomware, go out of business within six months. The costs associated with ransom payments, lost data, operational downtime, and reputational damage are often too much for these businesses to bear, leading to permanent closure. It's a stark reminder of the importance of proactive cybersecurity measures.
