Cyber Security

Advances in technology have changed the way we live, and the way we do business. Our world is more connected than ever before. This brings huge opportunities and benefits, but it also brings risks.We live in an era of cyber in-security and attacks are common, be it hacking, viruses or malware (such as the recent cyber attack that disrupted the NHS). But the reality is most events happen because of the actions employees take.Most people have yet to consider their digital safety (especially at work) in the same way that they consider their personal safety. People wouldn’t leave their wallets or personal belongings lying around in a public space, but have almost definitely clicked on a link that didn’t seem totally safe or downloaded something from an unknown source.The good news is there are simple rules your employees can follow to avoid being an easy target.
