Cyber security is no longer a ‘nice to have’, it is absolutely essential for businesses both large and small. Barely a day goes by without another report of a hacked website, an encrypted set of files or a huge data breach. Yet this need not happen as 99% of cyber security issues are preventable with the right planning, processes and technologies in place. Gone are the days when these systems were only affordable to large companies.
