Imagine locking the doors to your house but leaving the windows wide open. That’s how many organisations treat their cyber security without realising it. The result? Cyber attacks are easier, more common, and costlier than ever before.
What Is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a simple, yet effective framework designed to help you protect your organisation against the most common cyber threats.
It focuses on 5 critical areas:
- Securing your internet connection (firewalls)
- Using secure settings on devices and software
- Controlling access to data and services
- Protecting against malware and viruses
- Updating devices and software regularly
With these essential steps in place, you significantly reduce the risk of cyber attacks, saving time, money, and reputation.
Why Should You Care?
Here’s the reality:
- 43% of cyber attacks target small businesses and charities.
- A single breach could cost thousands in lost income, fines, and recovery.
- Cyber Essentials certification can open doors to contracts and improve trust with clients.
Think of Cyber Essentials as your organisation’s front-line defence. It’s not about perfection – it’s about making yourself a harder target. Hackers love easy wins. Don’t be one.
