CYBERSECURITY
Cybersecurity Matters. How Will You Keep Your Business Safe?
What is Cybersecurity?
You’ve heard people using the term “cybersecurity” for a while now, but what exactly does it mean? We’re here to help you understand cybersecurity and why you should care about it…without getting too technical.
At its simplest, cybersecurity is how you protect your data and information systems from cyberthreats and attacks. A cyberattack is anything that could disrupt, destroy or steal your data.
Just like physical security, cybersecurity isn’t a single one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, it’s a series of best practices you implement and maintain in your professional and personal life.
Why Should Cybersecurity Be Important to You?
The most important thing to know about cybersecurity is it’s never someone else’s responsibility. Your management team and IT department or consultants have a part to play, but at the end of the day, YOU are ultimately responsible for protecting your data.
This is because we’re the weakest link in any system, and the biggest risk to our information systems is our own misunderstandings or lack of knowledge.
