Cyber security: How Safe is Your Business?

Cyber security is becoming an everyday issue for all businesses. In fact, according to the National Cyber Security Alliance, up to 70% of cyber attacks are targeted at small businesses, with 60% of those attacked going out of business within six months.

It’s a serious and growing issue, mostly due to the rapid increase in technology across most industries. In a digital world of mobile phones, tablets, laptops and the internet, all data is interconnected. Online and “tap” purchases all create data that is collected by organisations and stored. The risk of a breach in the system can damage the finances and reputation of a business beyond repair.

While larger corporations have dedicated IT departments to deal with threats, companies such as Facebook, large national banks and Instagram are proof that cyber attacks and security breaches can affect everyone, with widespread and expensive consequences.

Presenter Peter Groeneveld, from Computer Network Integration (CNI), is an expert in the field of Cyber Security and computer network design, ensuring businesses operate securely online. Peter has over 22 years’ experience in the Information Technology (IT) industry, providing computer support for hardware, software, and managed network services.

Cyber Security has become so important that he now educates business owners on the risks they face daily from unknown hackers looking to break into computer systems, directly or indirectly, via third party access to their system.

To find out how to secure your computer network or to ask Peter if your current network is vulnerable to an attack, then book and attend the August Cumberland Business Chamber After 5 Event.
