Top tip of the month
Did you know?
The UK Government's Cyber Breaches Survey in 2023 estimates that UK organisations suffered 2.39 million large-scale cyber crimes and 49,000 instances of cyber fraud.
Protecting Private and Public Sector Organisations from Cyberattacks:
This rising tide of cyberattacks has made comprehensive and expert cybersecurity solutions essential to the public and private sectors. To build cyber resilience, UK organisations will need to focus more on identifying their value at risk (plausible losses).
This will allow them to manage the risk adequately, providing them with a better understanding of their risk acceptance, risk mitigation, and risk transfer to a cyber insurance policy.
The Importance of Risk Mitigation:
A recent survey by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) indicated that 19% of SMEs would suffer losses of almost ￡4,200 from cyber-attacks, which many SMEs described as potentially devastating.
Organisations need to develop cyber risk strategies that respond to their unique needs. Chief information security officers (CISOs) must ensure employees know common cyber threats to mitigate them.
