LaneSystems: April Roundup

As another month steadily draws to a close it’s time for our usual monthly roundup here at LaneSystems.

The Small Business Guide to Cyber Security

Throughout April we have been discussing Cyber Security and how important this is not just for large organisations but SMEs also. To give smaller companies a good insight into the importance of cyber security we compiled The Small Business Guide to Cyber Security. This mini guide provides information surrounding why SMEs should consider cyber security as a main part of their yearly budget.

Did you know that in 2020 alone, 28% of data breaches involved SMEs?

One of the main points attached to this guide is based upon human error and this leads us to posing an important question.

How much knowledge do your staff members have surrounding cyber security?

Do they know for example, how to spot phishing emails? Would employees be aware if they were being pressured into making a specific payment quickly? Does your team know which email links to click on and those to avoid?

In-depth Cyber Security training is intrinsic for SMEs as without this, companies could face costly problems.

2021 Cyber Security Threats

Following on from The Small Business Guide, we compiled The Top 5 Cyber Security Threats of 2021 including the following:

1. Social Engineering
2. Ransomware
3. DDos Attacks
4. Third Party Software
5. Cloud Computing Vulnerabilities

Within the article, each threat has been broken down and discussed in detail, giving business owners an understanding of exactly what to be aware of and look out for.
