Cyber Security
Businesses of all sizes need to understand the consequences of securing your data and maintaining good security posture. For the same reasons people secure their home and their car, investing is IT security need to remain a priority, if you want to avoid the devastation that can be caused by a security incident:
> Financial loss > Reputational damage
> Legal proceedings due to data breaches
Let’s take a look at some examples:
Data TheftThis could include stealing some or all of your customers personal information to be sold on the dark web or used for identity fraud.
Denial of ServiceDOS attacks aim to bring down a particular service or website. There are many ways in which this can be accomplished, ranging from a distributed attack (saturating your network/site with requests) to unauthorized reconfigurations or blatant device shutdowns. The goal is anarchy or humiliation and normally no money is requested.
RansomwareThis is where your data is encrypted - and changed in a way that you can't use it. This could be as simple as a computer full of Word documents that are turned into gibberish. You need to pay a ransom (normally in bitcoin) to get it back, and will be provided instructions on how to do so. The ransom amount will probably be close to reasonable, as the goal of the attacker is to get paid they know it's pointless asking small businesses to pay large sums of money they don't have.
