Cybersecurity and compliance: popular myths debunked
Cybercrime includes illegal access of data, use of computer communications to commit fraud, or the ransoming of systems via digital means. Though you may assume that your company is safe, it’s most likely that you are not. Computer hackers prey on small and medium-sized businesses, but large companies are often targeted as well.

It’s a fact that cybercrime has been on a rapid rise over the past few years and that cyber incidents can have a huge impact on your business continuity. Therefore, cybersecurity needs to be prioritized by every business regardless of size, type or industry.
What are the prevalent cyber threats? What is their impact on a business, and how can we identify and proactively stop them? What can we learn from recent incidents? If you are armed with the appropriate tools and knowledge to identify signs of a security incident before they happen, you can prevent a possible data breach that can result in significant damage to businesses’ operations, finances, and reputation.
