Why hasn’t your company increased its cyber resilience?
You’re an ostrich. If you can’t see it, it can’t affect you. If you have any kind of online presence, then cyber criminals can affect your business. And it’s not that they are targeting your company specifically. Criminals target everyone online. They look for vulnerabilities and will pick those low hanging fruit; those companies without fundamental cyber security controls. If you were a burglar, would you pick the lit house with CCTV and a strong door lock, or would you pick the house in darkness which isn’t overlooked?
Or maybe you’re a nodding dog? You recognize cybercrime is a risk, nodding your head along with the points being raised, but you still haven’t done anything about it, maybe for the reasons below.
There’s more important things to do? Did you know that 48% of small businesses identified a cyber-attack or data breach in the last 12 months? What would happen to your business if ransomware infected your system and you couldn’t access your emails or customer data? What about if your social media account was taken over and you were locked out? Could your company survive being tricked into paying a criminal instead of your supplier?

Why not move from an ostrich or nodding dog, into a business leader who can have confident conversations about the digital risk to their business?
