What do we know so far: Security threat is expanding in scope, cyber criminals are targeting small and medium size business more and more due to the fact that business of this size are less likely to have an effective security system in place and make them an easy target. Just remember when ransomware started and who were the biggest victims in that period.
To battle modern security threats in a digital age any business needs to be well equipped and have some basic protection in place for their endpoints, e-mail, data storage (especially personal data), network and any additional systems or services you use such as cloud. Aside from the obvious need for top management/owner buy-in, to achieve this, an organization needs to have:
1. the right people with information security backgrounds
2. the right security solutions implemented and configured and
3. the appropriate security policies, standards and procedures implemented.
