Three reasons cyber security is a BIG issue for small businesses
Many businesses only partially recover, permanently losing critical data or finances. Ransomware incidents can be extremely disruptive. While the average attack disrupts for about 21 days, your preparedness and response plan affects this duration.
Did you know that a cyber attack is reported every six minutes in Australia?
Cyber crime can disrupt your business for days, if not weeks, or even permanently. That’s where Cyber Wardens comes in.
Funded by the Australian government, Cyber Wardens is a free online training program focused on providing you with quick wins you can implement to help protect your small business against cyber threats.
Cyber Wardens is a key initiative within the Australian Government’s Cyber Security Strategy, supporting the first of six cyber shields: Strong businesses and citizens.
