How vulnerable is your network?

Tens of thousands of small business can't answer that question. Are you one of them?

Marks & Spencer, Coop and Harrods are just a few big name retailers that have had their cyber security tested in recent weeks. Unfortunately this was done by cyber criminals, which is not the way you want to test your defences!

Big names like these make the headlines, but it's estimated tens of thousands of UK businesses are equally as vulnerable and might not even know.

The emergence of "Ransomware-as-a-Service" means wannabe hackers don't necessarily need the technical know-how to conduct an attack, they simply pay to use powerful tools like Dragon Force to do the heavy lifting for them, and keep a share of the ransom for themselves.

Such is the danger that many cyber insurance providers now mandate network vulnerability testing, pen testing and cyber security accreditations as a requirement for businesses to take out a cyber policy. Many businesses don't do any of this, rendering their policies null and void.

Of course, a valid insurance policy might cover some of the costs if you get hacked, but the disruption and reputational cost can be difficult and sometimes impossible to recover from.

You can't fix a problem if you don't know it exists, so please don't lose sleep worrying about the unknown. Find out what vulnerabilities exist, so that they may be rectified before they are exploited.

We are passionate about protecting businesses from cyber security risks and will happily run a free vulnerability assessment, following up with a report on what vulnerabilities exist and providing a pathway to rectify them.
