I’ve been a bit shocked by the number of recruitment businesses suffering from cyber attacks. If you are at all worried about this (and it seems you should be) I’m happy to tell you about Security Everywhere, offered by Westtek to help recruiters combat this. As a UK Recruiter subscriber you also get a free “dark web scan” when you sign up (scroll to the end of my email for a bit more information about the dark web scan).
4 FACTS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CYBER ATTACKS
- 43% of all cyber attack breaches in 2017/2018 happened to small businesses. This percentage is increasing by the day because of the perception, ‘It will never happen to us’.
- 1 in 4 UK citizens has been a victim of a cyber-related crime and 50% of all crime reported is now cyber-related.
- Cyber theft is now 10 times more common than personal theft and 35 times more likely to happen to you than burglary.
- 2018, 93% of all malware was found to be polymorphic meaning it can change its code to evade detection. This type of malware renders traditional Antivirus software useless.
Security Everywhere is the most sophisticated cyber protection available and it costs just £14.76* (ex VAT) per computer, per month.That’s less than 50p per day!
Start-ups and micro-businesses often feel overwhelmed by the jargon associated with cybersecurity and the perceived costs associated with installing proper security measures. This makes them easy targets – because the hackers know it.
Small and medium-sized businesses also face overwhelm in the face of the jargon but also suffer from the ‘it’ll never happen to me’ syndrome. This makes them easy targets – because the hackers know it.
Large businesses with internal IT teams are often swamped with day-to-day maintenance and support issues with the IT Manager having little time to spend on proactively managing the IT strategy for the future. This leaves them open to new and more sophisticated attacks – and the hackers know it.
For start-ups, micro and SMBs, the fear factor usually leads to the purchase of antivirus software but not much else, leaving business owners with a niggling feeling they’re probably still not secure enough. The spectre of cyber attack and the resultant downtime, loss of productivity, damage to reputation, not to mention costs and fines, still gives them sleepless nights.
For large businesses, IT Managers, IT Directors and Chief Technical Officers, the menace of cyber attack and its consequences are even more pronounced. Their nightmares involve finding themselves suddenly caught out with a carefully orchestrated, hybrid attack by-passing standard security measures, leaving them exposed to crippling fines.
Ring a bell?
You may be relieved to know, Westtek Solutions has the answer.
Security Everywhere protects your computer for less than 50p per day!
Security Everywhere runs unnoticeably, alongside your existing antivirus, to provide the layer of security your systems need to protect you from increasingly sophisticated cyber attack. It constantly analyses behaviour looking for suspicious activity and identifying modified files, programmes and operating systems. This activity is backed up by a Security Operating Centre manned team of cyber specialists who deal with any issues as they arise.
The creators are so confident, Security Everywhere comes with an £800 per computer ransomware warranty!
This means if you are subject to a ransomware attack and you choose to pay, you will be reimbursed the ransom fee per computer affected, to the limit of £900,000 ($1M equivalent).
Your data is your reputation. Are you protecting it sufficiently? With Security Everywhere, you can!
- Attacks and alerts are dealt with by cyber experts, not simply handed to you!
- Unusual behaviour and malicious code isolated, quarantined and/or killed within seconds
- Minimises downtime and lost productivity in the unlikely event of a successful cyber attack
