Excerpt From Cybersecurity eBook
All modern organizations—regardless of their size, location, and domain—are confronted with cybersecurity threats ranging from minor to critical. Such threats include phishing attacks, ransomware and other malware, insider attacks, Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks, and others. While some organizations take these threats seriously and know how to protect themselves against them, cybercrime statistics show that most are alarmingly unprepared, leaving them vulnerable to cyber-attacks that could potentially threaten their very existence.
According to Bitdefender’s Hacked Off! report, 57 percent of companies have experienced a breach in the past three years, and nearly the same number (60 percent) was published by the enterprise technology market researcher Vanson Bourne and the insurance firm Hiscox (61 percent).
“Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting small and medium size organizations”
Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting small and medium size organizations because they know that such organizations are far less likely to have well-designed cybersecurity policies than large enterprises with dedicated security teams and deep pockets.
Without cybersecurity policies outlining how to keep threats at bay and clearly stating what needs to be done when they do occur, small and medium size organizations are at a huge disadvantage in today’s world, where costly breaches and cyber-attacks are the new normal.
“all organizations can and should create at least the most critical cybersecurity policies to protect their data and comply with various regulations, such as PCI, HIPAA, GDPR”
However, that’s not how things have to be. Regardless of size and budget, all organizations can and should create at least the most critical cybersecurity policies to protect their data and comply with various regulations, such as PCI, HIPAA, GDPR, and others. With documented cybersecurity policies in place, employees will know what to do and what not to do to prevent a network intrusion and reduce its impact.
