Cybercrime is not someone else's problem, Its YOUR problem

Being oblivious to the problems associated with a cyber event will never make it go away.  

The regular cries of 'we are not a target', 'why would they attack us, we are little', 'we have nothing worth stealing' and 'we are not a technology firm' ring out and are starting to fall on deaf ears.

To me it is about time!

To my way of thinking, we are at war. 

And although this war has been raging for more than 15 years, most of the combatants don't even realize the situation.

Before you go and have a go at me.  

Think of this! 

They use the same strategies and tactics!

For example: You are a medium size organisation, and you are looking to acquire another smaller rival. The process is going well, the due diligence has been done and everyone in your organisation is on board.  

For no apparent reason you notice the discussions are delivering information that they should not have access to.  

Information that is now damaging your tactics.  

Information that is looking a lot like inside information.  

They are playing hard ball and delivery information that were the upper levels of the negotiation within your organisation.

Do you have an insider who is sabotaging the process? Probably not. You have been targeted, targeted with malware, that was delivered to the bargaining team as a tempting email.

That is how easy it can happen and there are a huge number of attack like that, that go through as unnoticed.

The risk of a cyber event is escalating.

No one is safe!

No one is too small to be a target!

No one has nothing worth stealing!

If you don't protect your "stuff" why should anyone else do it for you?
