The NCSC reports ransomware attacks are happening DAILY across the UK ⚠️
Every single day, British businesses are being held hostage by cybercriminals. Yet many companies are still treating cyber security like an optional extra, until it’s too late.
The government saw this crisis coming. That’s why they created Cyber Essentials, which is a baseline cyber security certification.
But here’s what you need to know:
80% of basic cyber threats can be stopped with proper controls.
Cyber Essentials is the government’s minimum security standard.
Yet most businesses still operate without it.
Think of Cyber Essentials as your digital seatbelt; you wouldn’t drive without one. So why would you run a business without the government’s baseline cyber protection?
When Knights of Old, a British transport company collapsed from a single password breach, they had insurance, but not the right foundation. £1 million insurance coverage couldn’t save them from a £5 million ransom because they lacked basic security controls.
The new BBC documentary, Panorama, Fighting Cyber Criminals, (https://lnkd.in/epNMfeTE) details this sad story.
To protect your business online, a Cyber Essentials certification is a good place to start as the minimum cost for micro-organisations is £320, which is a fraction of what you’ll spend recovering from an attack.
