How Cyber Criminals Leave a Lasting Negative Impact on
Your Business
In today’s highly digital landscape, the use of IT systems by most businesses to streamline operations has opened the door to cybercriminals, making it easier for them to exploit vulnerabilities and cause significant damage when least expected.
In this blog, we will explore the most pressing cyber threats facing small and medium-sized businesses, along with practical, effective solutions to quickly and decisively shut down these threats.
The Costly Knock-On Effect of Cyber Attacks
When cyber threats hit, it is often a business’s finances that suffer first. This includes everything from the cost of rectifying breaches to potential ransom demands.
These attacks create a dent in the smooth-running of a business, impacting work in a variety of hidden ways:
Severely affected operations – It is very difficult for a business to bounce back instantly and recover quickly from such malicious attacks. This can lead to the slowing of overall business operations, and can even bring activity to a standstill. As a result, loss of productivity and sales is inevitable.
Loss of customer trust – Once customers learn of such cyber-attacks, it can cause them to become more wary. This is a risky position wind up in, as this can spread via word of mouth and lead to a loss in revenue and potential clients.
Penalties for lack of compliance – The failure of protecting data can result in significant fines under regulations like GDPR, which further adds to existing financial troubles.
