Cyber Security is Investment, Not Expense

 

Cyber attack is not a news anymore, it is that much commonplace. Every day we can hear about a company facing hacking attack. While the methods and the weapons are more sophisticated now, the lack of preparation and awareness from the companies only help these criminals. At least, two third of the companies have no written down course of action to prevent cyber attack or even to recover after a cyber attack.

There can be different types of attacks; SQL injection, phishing, scripting, DDoS, data sniffing are some of the common methods used by the hackers. While phishing is more like duping the user to give out confidential details, there are other attacks, like DDoS, where a common company worker can do nothing to help. Here arises the need of having a professional cyber security agency beside you. They can provide ample security against cyber attack in real time. For example, when a DDoS starts, they can sniff it and quickly take protective measures. They often install firewall to allow only secured access to the server.

A professional cyber security agency or team is not an expense, all the companies must realise this. It’s like the lock of your house, they keep you safe and thus, it’s an investment which yields safety in return. Companies often think they are too small and insignificant to be target of hackers but here they are wrong. Information and data is power and hackers simply don’t discriminate. They often steal user data from smaller companies to use those to hack bigger organisations.
