Cyber Risk

Cyber criminals are using advances in technology to cripple small business computer systems in order to extort money. And the largest group now being targets for attacks are businesses with less than 250 employees. Is your organization prepared to not be a victim?

In today’s connected corporate world, no business can claim to be 100% immune to a cyber attack. Have you ever considered what ramifications your business would have should you be a cyber victim?

• Someone in your company inadvertently downloads and installs a virus, which causes no one to be able to access any critical data. Your operations are now at a standstill. How do you continue operations?
• An employee loses a laptop or mobile device that contains very sensitive customer information. What do you do next?
• A critical database has become corrupted by computer malware and you don’t have ongoing back-ups. What risks are you now open to due to this loss of data?
