Cyber Security and data breaches are now a fact of life for all businesses. Now that there is a business model (ransomware) that is enabled by Bitcoin, there will be no respite from attacks attempting to hack your business. No business is too small to be targeted.
Better technology can help, but there is no panacea. Spam filters are never foolproof and while perimeters with firewalls may be strong, once inside the firewall most business IT systems are vulnerable.
We advise our clients to assume the mindset that they have already been breached and go from there.
In 2013 the Australian Institute of Company Directors wrote:
Businesses need to assume a cyber security breach will happen and prepare accordingly. And, the focus needs to shift from pure prevention to detection and response planning, the goal being to become resilient organisations that can bounce back quickly from attacks.
