1. It's only a matter of time
Our increased dependence on technology has resulted in
vulnerability and a rise in the frequency and severity of cyber
breaches. Computers are used for everything from storing staff
employment records to customer phone numbers to company strategic
planning. Any data gathering network used by you or your firm could
be a target.
2. Any business could be at risk
While most media attention is given to companies dealing with
financial or health records, any business that uses electronic
equipment is at risk. This ranges from a manufacturing plant with
automated equipment to a consulting firm with confidential
corporate information to a law firm with client files on their
computer network. Although the type of cyber incident may vary from
business to business, any company that relies on computers or a
body of data is vulnerable.
