11/10/2017

Steps that a small business can quickly and easily take in five key areas to reduce the chances that it will become a victim of cyber crime are outlined in a new online guide published by the National Cyber Security Centre, a part of Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ).

‘Cyber Security: Small Business Guide’ comprises an infographic identifying a range of low cost, simple techniques that can be applied in each of the following areas to significantly reduce the potential for financial and reputational loss arising from cyber attacks:

Backing up your data
Protecting your organisation from malware
Keeping your smartphones (and tablets) safe
Using passwords to protect your data
Avoiding phishing attacks

Each heading links to further information on the possible steps advised by NCSC.

For larger businesses, or those that face a greater risk of cyber crime, the guidance also links to 10 Steps to Cyber Security, published in August 2016.
