Cyber security is no longer a ‘nice to have’, it is absolutely essential for businesses both large and small. Barely a day goes by without another report of a hacked website, an encrypted set of files or a huge data breach. Yet this need not happen as 99% of cyber security issues are preventable with the right planning, processes and technologies in place. Gone are the days when these systems were only affordable to large companies. Protecting your business from cyber attacks is possible for businesses of all sizes, including one person companies and it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg any more.
