There’s nothing scarier than a cyber attack – well, maybe monsters, ghosts, and your own shadow – but being a victim of a cyber attack is pretty scary too. October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. It serves as a reminder to organizations and individuals to be proactive in protecting their digital information. The theme for this year’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month is: Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart.
It is important to remember that a cyber attack can happen to anyone at any time. While the impact is very real, there are proven practices and procedures to prevent it. Did you know…
An estimated $6 trillion will be spent globally on cybersecurity by 2021- The average cost of a data breach in 2020 will exceed $150 million
