In the past week we’ve seen first-hand just how diverse the threats are in the world of cybersecurity right now. The government of Taiwan was actively urging businesses in the country to shore up their cybersecurity in order to brace for a potential wide-scale cyber-attack on the country. At the same time, here in the UK, a ransomware attack disrupted the systems underpinning the helplines of the National Health Service. In this case hackers jeopardised our link to the people who take care of us in our moments of greatest need.
The unfortunate truth is that cyber-attacks like these are becoming more frequent and, indeed, have almost become commonplace. From DDoS assaults to cybersecurity exploits that result in data breaches, these attacks are an ever-present fact of life for individuals, businesses, and governments all around the world which cannot afford to assume that they will not be a potential future target.
Businesses should always aim to have robust cybersecurity measures in place. Likewise, they should be committed to investing in maintaining and strengthening the overall resilience of their digital systems. One useful step towards reinforcing any business´ security defenses might be to remind the company´s IT teams of the importance of these security solutions when it comes to protecting the organisation and its employees.
