Cyber attacks are more common than you think

What’s important is to think about all of this BEFORE you become victim to an attack (sadly, it’s likely to be a case of when and not if).

By following a few simple steps you can be confident you’ll not only recover from an attack quickly, but you’ll minimize the damage and cost too.

A cyber attack will probably start with an “Email”

Here’s a shocking fact: 90% of cyber attacks start with a simple email.

And guess who uses email every single day? EVERYONE… INCLUDING YOU AND ALL YOUR TEAM.

Which means every time you open an inbox your business is at risk. So, 20 or 30 times a day, right?

Why being in contract with your IT company?

It might feel you’re saving money when you only pay for something broken that needs attention (this is known as break/fix).

Did we ever tell you about John, who is a business owner like you. And, maybe just like you, John struggled to let go of some of the things he did in his business.

Whether it’s because you are trying to same money, you don’t trust anyone to do things as well as you do, or maybe there’s another reason, one thing’s for sure: when you try to do everything yourself, you hold your business back.

And that includes doing your own IT.

The data in your business is invaluable. Without it you wouldn’t have much of a business left, would you?

That way, even if a cyber criminal get their hands on it, your data is worthless to them.
