As cyber attacks have increased around the world—interrupting businesses and government operations, and often leading to massive ransomware payouts and damaged corporate reputations—cyber hygiene has become a key method for creating operational resilience. Cyber hygiene helps prevent cyber criminals from breaching an organisation’s network—or at least raises the opportunity cost, making it so hard that the criminal gives up and goes looking for another victim. It’s true that many of today’s attacks are increasingly sophisticated, relying on social engineering to get a victim to divulge sensitive information, targeting “whales” (high-level executives), or deploying malware in a supply chain that can then infect hundreds of others. https://lnkd.in/exkjGem2 #iasmecyberbaseline #cyberhygiene #cybersecurity #iasme #compliance #cyber #supplychain

Cyber Security service provided by Tekhub Pro... For many companies, Security is an afterthought to the daily operation of their business. Or perhaps they feel it can be too expensive, and it is often difficult to visualize the benefits. After-all, if you don't experience service interruptions, then they must not be of great importance... Until they are. According to IBM's 2023 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average impact of a data breach on organizations with fewer than 500 employees is $3.31 million; the average cost per breached record is $164. The question to ask is not, "How much does it cost to keep it safe, but how much will it cost if it isn't?" At Tekhub Pro, we have a Dedicated SOC Team led by an award winning former NSA Cyber Warfare Operator who will secure and monitor your network 24/7, and respond to and mitigate any threats.
