While a huge data breach may seem like “big company problems,” the truth is, in today’s digital landscape, everyone is at risk and can be negatively affected by cyber breaches.
When hackers or even unethical marketers have individuals’ personal information, they can send emails and SMS messages to unwitting recipients. At best, they are annoying spam and are quickly deleted. At worst, this information could be used for phishing and other cyberattacks.
When we think about data breaches, most of us immediately imagine scenarios like this, where hackers steal from big companies. However, that’s not the only way our data is put at risk.
The absolute best way to protect yourself and your business from data breaches is to stay vigilant. In your business, this means implementing policies around data protection and training your staff on best practices. To keep up with the ever-changing nature of cybersecurity, training should be regularly updated so employees know what to watch out for while working online. We can help you, reach out to us today!
