Unfortunately, we live in a world today where attackers are increasingly figuring out ways around traditional security methods, putting organizations at risk.
Ready made tools allow for the most basic user to launch an attack on any site or organisation and as a result attacks are increasing exponentially world wide.
Nearly half of UK businesses suffered a cyber attack or security breach in 2017 and this year it is expected to be nearer 75%.
Basically it is no longer a matter of if you will be attacked but when.
Cyber attacks can lay dormant for years without anyone being the wiser however malicious attacks are generally more immediate such as ransomware and malware.
The typical affects of an attack include files temporarily or permanently lost, software or systems corrupted, sites slowed or taken down and money, assets and intellectual property stolen.
