“what is the biggest threat to my business?”
One the most common threats is phishing attacks. They come in multiple forms from links in emails, to scam text messages and are becoming increasingly sophisticated and difficult to spot even for an expert! Once clicked on they can install software on your system to monitor your behaviour until they gain valuable info, ie login details, spread through your system destroying data, and be passed on to your suppliers and customers without you knowing.
“what is a cyber security standard and why use it!”
A cyber security standard, ie ISO27001 is an internationally recognised set of policies and controls that when applied effectively greatly help protect organisations from attack. They are recognised globally and complying or certifying to a standard improves your security and provides your customers and suppliers assurance that you take information security seriously. Showing annual progression is a great way of boosting your security, satisfying regulators and showing your customers you care about their booking data.cyber security port douglas, port douglas cyber security
