ICT Security
‘SME’s believe they are too small to be of any value to cyber criminals.’
Throughout our work of the Business Crime Reduction Centre, this has been the view expressed by SME’s throughout the region.
- Why would they be interested in us?
- What have we got that would be of any use to criminals?
- They want to go after big companies or banks, not small business
These types of views fuel the myth that cyber criminals are not interested in the smaller companies. This is patently untrue, as cyber criminals are much more likely to attack unprotected systems, or those with rudimentary defences – and be successful, than when targeting larger organisations.
Businesses that do not specifically manage their security and the cyber crime threat, are probably not aware that they are being attacked or indeed the level of success that those attacks are having.
Does your business have the right measures in place to combat cyber crime?
The contents in this section will help users identify areas of development in the business, understand the potential threats and gain an understanding of how to remedy the weaknesses, making the business stronger and preventing the potential loss and damage these threats can cause.
