Today, Cyber Security’s weakest link is the user. Hackers are like vampires they cannot come into your home unless invited in. Hackers will do anything and everything possible to trick a user into letting them in. They’ll portray themselves as an authority emailing users as their boss, the police, FBI, or owner of the company. They’ll use intimidation do this or else! They’ll use familiarity as a tactic, mentioning work colleagues, demonstrating insight into the operation to help build credibility. They’ll try many different ways to exploit bad practices at any company.
You may be thinking, ‘I’m a small company, I’m not a target’, and you’d be wrong. According to Forbes, 58% of cyberattack victims are small businesses. Another study revealed 55% of small businesses have experienced at least one cyberattack within the last 12 months, and nearly a ¼ of those will go out of business because of it. It’s not a matter of if you'll suffer a cyberattack, it’s when.
The easiest and most important step to protecting your business from cyberattack is educating your users. This month Fluid Networks is offering a free Security Risk Assessment and Security Awareness Analysis.
