Dave Taylor, MD of Stockport-based cybersecurity and IT support experts, Amshire IT, explains a two-word phrase that is fundamental in staying ahead of cybercriminals.
Wanna know the secret to outmatching cybercriminals?
Two words: Proactive cybersecurity!
Now, I know you’re probably thinking… “What are you talking about? I’m just a small business. Am I really in danger of a cyberattack?”
A 100% yes to that!
You see, cyber threats are becoming more and more sophisticated. And cybercriminals can target anyone… including you.
I’m sure you already know that just one data breach is enough to ruin your business and the lives of all your clients!
So if I were you, I wouldn’t take this sitting down… I’d start being proactive about it!
What does proactive cybersecurity mean?
It means being preventative. You take into account all potential threats and vulnerabilities.
You see, traditional cybersecurity is reactive. By that, I mean your IT service provider sets up alerts so they’ll know if a cyberattack happened.
But by the time they get the alert, it might be too late… Cybercriminals already have your data.
That’s why you have to be one step ahead of them!
And you can do that by implementing proactive cybersecurity measures in your business.
