A new Cyber Wise club introducing the ‘Cyber Wise’ programme has been launched in Stockport.
Hallidays new ‘Cyber Wise’ programme will provide businesses with expert recommendations, top tips, and product advice as well as 3 month’s free membership to the Cyber Wise club.
Members will be educated and empowered to reduce the chances of a successful attack that can potentially have disastrous consequences.
Participating businesses will be thoroughly audited and checked for vulnerabilities. This includes team questionnaires and analysis to give a holistic, user-friendly snap-shot of the team’s understanding of cyber-crime.
Recommendations will be followed by a cyber training seminar, exam and a hands-on workshop to educate and empower teams with the knowledge required and the understanding that they are key to protecting the business.
Lyndsey Hayes who oversees Hallidays IT department explains: “With all of us now on-line, it is critical to fully understand the growing threat to your business: ‘CYBER WISE’ will give you the knowledge you need to protect your organisation.
“In addition to this programme, we include a 3 months free membership to Hallidays CYBER WISE Club which is there to make sure business owners and their teams have access to the tools they need to keep their business safe.”
RBS recently reported that 70% of its customers who were victims of cyber-crime did not receive any refund and the BBC reports that the technical capabilities of criminal gangs are outpacing the country’s ability to deal with the threat. The BBC also reported that there were 2.46 million “cyber incidents” last year alone, including 700,000 frauds.
The NCA assesses “that the most advanced and serious cybercrime threat to the UK is the direct or indirect result of activity by a few hundred international cyber criminals, typically operating in organised groups, who target UK businesses to commit highly profitable malware-facilitated fraud.”
Lyndsey continues: “Hallidays IT have been researching the best cyber security solutions in IT, HR and insurance for over 3 years. Our knowledge and expertise in supporting our clients with powerful enterprise solutions since 1998 means that organisations won’t have to worry, because their team will be armed and ready to protect their business.”
