Free PDF download: Cyber Security for the Board – A permanent priority

Government research shows that UK boards are deprioritising cyber security. However, this is a false economy: if you do not keep up with the latest threats and vulnerabilities, attackers will find and exploit them.

Even a micro organisation typically holds hundreds of data assets, often in the form of personal data, so is a worthwhile – and often easy – target from an attacker’s perspective.

Your odds of suffering an attack – especially an easily preventable one – increase significantly if you decrease security spending.

Fortunately, taking basic precautions that can significantly lower your risk need not be expensive.
