October brings more than autumn leaves and cooler weather – it’s also Cyber Security Month.
This is a global initiative, aimed at raising awareness about the importance of protecting data, in an increasingly digital world.
In the UK, the theme is “Stay Safe Online”, emphasising practical steps to build resilience against cyber threats.
Key activities that businesses should carry out include:
- Making sure that all your people are regularly trained on the latest cyber security threats and how to stay safe.
- Making sure that the software used in your business is regularly updated.
- Checking the privacy settings on any business social media sites.
- Ensuring that your data is held securely and can only be accessed by authorised people.
- Making sure that your data is backed up.
- Implementing the most up to date security solutions, which might include a Managed Detection and Response service, that proactively hunts and neutralises threats, 24/7.
It is so important to stay vigilant, stay informed, and remember that cyber security is everyone’s responsibility.
