Managing director Gordon Christie commented: “The cost of a cyber attack is much greater than the initial ransom fee. A cyber attack can cost your business through downtime, loss of business and reputational damage.”

“Cyber attacks are evolving, becoming more sophisticated, and happening more frequently. Times are still tough for businesses, but it’s important that firms continue to invest in the training and development of its people. Throughout 2022, we aim to offer a range of educational resources, webinars and in-person events designed to support businesses that are 100% free for anyone who is interested.”

Having already hosted a number of successful free webinars on hybrid working and cyber security, the company’s next webinar ‘How to create a human firewall’ is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, 1st June at 10 am. 

Gordon continued: “95% of data breaches are a direct result of human error, which indicates that most employees do not understand the security threats that are out there, or how to look out for them. On the day, we will also provide delegates with hints and tips on security awareness training while discussing some real life examples of security breaches and how they could be avoided.”
