As the festive season approaches, make sure your organisation is protected from the rising risks of cyber crime.
The seasonal surge in cyber attacks starts here
The holiday period sees a 30% surge in ransomware attacks, as criminals seek to exploit reduced staffing and slower response times.
When your employees fall for scams, they allow malware onto your systems, which encrypts data and leads to large ransom demands.
With many IT and security teams short-staffed over the festive season, organisations are especially vulnerable.
The growing pressure on regulatory compliance
Organisations face growing pressure to meet compliance requirements to stay competitive and win clients.
With evolving governance, risk and compliance obligations, organisations must conduct penetration tests to identify vulnerabilities, safeguard data and maintain trust with customers, suppliers and regulators.
What you can do about it
Don’t leave your business exposed. Strengthen your defences with our cyber security solutions,

Train your staff to spot phishing emails
Thanks to AI, phishing emails are increasingly sophisticated. Even if you have strong technical security measures in place, you need to ensure your staff know how to respond.
