With the unfathomable amount of technology that is used today to store personal or sensitive information, physical security is not the only security to worry about. Cyber security is a very important aspect on a personal level and is especially crucial for businesses. According to the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), hackers “frequently target organisations in order to collect bulk personal information, intellectual property and intelligence that aligns with national priorities.”
Cyber breaches are an ever-growing concern according to the UK government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2020. It claims that 46 percent of all business have suffered a cyber breach or attack in the last 12 months, with 32 percent of them having experienced attacks at least once a week.
You should always ensure that your personal information is under the best protection at home and online by using secured and trusted sites. If you are a business owner, you should ensure that cyber security is taken very seriously in your company and be sure to protect your customer information as best you can.
