Are you spending more on coffee for your staff than on your cybersecurity budget? As it is Cyber Smart Week, Kāpiti based award-winning cyber resilience firm, Outfox Ltd has just released a white paper researching the attitudes of small businesses to protecting themselves from cybercrime.
“We know we are a nation of coffee drinkers. But, when it comes at the expense of fully protecting your business, are your staff going to thank you more for free coffee, than ensuring your business (and their job) survives a cyber-attack,” says Jan Thornborough, Outfox Managing Director, and self-confessed caffeine fiend.
“Sadly, many small businesses take a Russian-roulette view to investing in cybersecurity. They rely heavily on technology, and the internet to do business. But are willing to take their chances of not getting hacked. Cybercrime cost the globe $12 trillion dollars last year, making cybercrime the third largest economy in the world at the moment. So, it’s not really a case of if you will get attacked, rather, when.”
So while you are sipping your coffee during Cyber Smart Week, ask yourself “what would I do if my business suffered a cyber-attack today that lost all my customer information and access to vital systems for weeks”. If you don’t have an answer, then talk to the team at Outfox.co.nz
They can help you stay one step ahead of cybercriminals, and you never know, they might even shout you a coffee!
