Cyber security is no longer a purely defensive mechanism, but a key component of the digital transformation process that’s crucial for enterprises to succeed.
With a strong cyber security strategy, organisations can realise the full benefits of adopting the cloud, enabling their teams to work and collaborate remotely, and engaging securely and safely with customers online.
It can help businesses mitigate risk, identify weaknesses, contain threats, support compliance and ultimately have a positive impact on the bottom line.
It is more than peace of mind; it is a strategic ethos vital in progressing any modern-day business towards its long-term goals.
It is easy for internal IT teams to feel overwhelmed by the ever-shifting challenges of keeping your business cyber secure. The proliferation of cloud and mobile technologies has both added to the complexity and created a domino-effect of security risks.
The news is rarely without another story of a major organisation being hacked, with data breaches affecting millions of customers. Under GDPR legislation, fines can be enormous, but reputational impacts are often even more damaging.
Cybercrime now costs UK businesses more than £30bn per year, with some global estimates as high as $6 trillion by the early 2020s. In 2018, PwC estimated that the annual average cost to UK firms that fell victim to a cyber-attack was £857,000 - and rising!
Some of the most promising solutions involve the use of AI and machine learning to automate the complex processes used for detecting cyber-attacks and reacting to breaches.
However, these technologies are often complex, and fractured or incomplete implementations create more problems than they solve.
