\"Cyber<\/p>\n

Over the last 12 months I\u2019ve noticed a significant increase in news headlines containing the word \u2018Cyber\u2019, in one form or another. It\u2019s possible I\u2019m experiencing the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon<\/a> – when someone repeatedly notices a newly learned word or phrase shortly after learning it – because I\u2019m currently studying for a cyber security certification. Although I\u2019m convinced this isn\u2019t the case; I\u2019ve been aware of marketing terms such as \u2018Cyber Monday\u2019, Cyber-space and its other forms for many years. I\u2019m specifically talking about the darker, more nefarious headlines which include a suffix to the word cyber<\/strong> such as: crime, attack and theft.<\/p>\n

So much so, I\u2019ve decided to create a \u2018Cyber Security\u2019 category within our blog, wherein we can update you with business relevant news and articles related to this emerging and, I think, fascinating subject.<\/p>\n

So to kick things off, for our first article under this topic I\u2019d like to point you in the direction of a report jointly published earlier this year by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and National Crime Agency\u00a0(NCA) called The Cyber Threat to UK Business<\/strong>. Whether you run a UK business or not I would recommend taking a look – it\u2019s written in plain english so you don\u2019t have to be a techie to understand it.<\/p>\n

The report contains pivotal incidents of 2016 including a destructive attack on Ukrainian power supply, a Yahoo! data breach and hacking the US Democratic Party. There\u2019s insight into predicted future<\/span>\u00a0threats to both business and consumers via ransomware and data leaks. Importantly the report offers common sense solutions on how\u00a0<\/span>businesses can protect themselves against future cyber threats.\u00a0As the previous year’s headlines suggest, the report reveals “the past year has been punctuated by cyber attacks on a scale and boldness not seen before”. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You can read the PDF report on the NCSC’s website here:\u00a0\u00a0The Cyber Threat to UK Business<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
