Modern businesses need modern solutions. ‘Outsourcing’ used to be a dirty word; Outsourced call centres were something to be avoided – but
In today’s digital landscape, cybersecurity is not a luxury—it’s a necessity.
In 2024, half of UK businesses (50%) and around a third of charities (32%) were victims of some form of cyber attack.
Previously a little discussed topic, the widescale chaos caused by cyber outage in 2024 when CrowdStrike released a faulty update, down to the recent M&S cyber attack which has compromised customer data, severely disrupted operations and lead to substantial financial losses, means cyber security is a hot topic for businesses of all sizes.
In fact, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the UK are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals, often due to limited resources and weaker security infrastructures.
Strengthening your cyber defences doesn’t have to be costly, but it does require a proactive and strategic approach, before the event.
The first step is to ensure all software and systems are regularly updated. Many attacks exploit outdated software with known vulnerabilities.
Equally important is employee awareness—human error remains one of the biggest threats. Regular staff training on recognising phishing attempts, using strong passwords, and handling sensitive data can significantly reduce risk.
Implementing basic security measures such as firewalls, anti-malware software, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) also add essential layers of protection.
Business of all sizes should also follow secure backup practices to prevent data loss in the event of a breach or ransomware attack.
Cyber Essentials, a UK government-backed scheme, offers a solid starting point – which is why NT Voice & Data are proud to be Cyber Essentials Plus certified.
