The UK has around 100 attempted Cyber Attacks PER MINUTE!!!
It probably comes as no surprise to read that cyber crime is a topic that’s not going away any time soon.
According to a 2019 cyber security report, UK businesses are seeing an average of 146,491 attempted cyber attacks every day – that works out to around 100 every minute.
But despite increased awareness about criminal activity, the figure continues to rise every year, with 2019’s stats up a whopping 179% compared to the same time in 2018.
With no organisation proving too small or too boring (or too big and high profile) for hackers to attack, this is a threat that simply can’t be ignored
As technology continues to advance at record speed, so too do the threats. Companies of all sizes, across all industries, need to employ robust data management practices and create a culture in which online security is the norm.

Short of unplugging your network from the rest of the world, perimeter security is a necessary evil. Your best defence is to stop any breach before it gets past your main gates. In most cases the simplest form of perimeter security is the boundary between your network and the internet. There are a number of layers to these defences starting with the initial entry point, your router.
A long time ago having just an AntiVirus installed on your computer used to be enough to protect your business, not anymore! Today you need to have multiple layers of security that overlap to give you the best possible protection, remember no one security product is going to protect you 100% Even Antivirus has moved on, when selecting an Antivirus you need to make sure it has EDR (Enhanced Detection Response) Technology which will give you greater protection for zero day attacks.
Cyber-attacks have continued to grow in cost, size, and impact – causing 60% of SMBs to go out of business within 6 months of a cyber incident. Over 80% of data breaches leverage stolen passwords as the principal attack vector – often acquired on the Dark Web.
