3RS IT Solutions is calling on businesses to take action to protect itself from ever-evolving cyber threats to enable employees to stay alert, informed, and prepared to protect against new risks.
Cyber threats are increasing rapidly, with a government cyber security breaches survey estimating that UK businesses have experienced approximately 8.58 million cyber crimes in the last 12 months.
The up-tick in cyber attacks are thought to be more prevalent due to the increasing reliance on digital systems, the rise of remote working, more sophisticated attack techniques, and the growing value of personal and business data for cybercriminals.
That’s why 3RS IT Solutions is calling on businesses to maintain its cyber security training on a yearly basis, alongside implementing multi-factor authentication to help protect against phishing and hacking.
“To help prevent cyber-attacks, businesses should invest in products such as advanced antivirus and anti-malware software, firewalls, email security solutions, endpoint detection and response tools, multi-factor authentication, and secure cloud backup services,” comments Ethan Malvern, technical director at 3RS.
“With cyber threats increasing rapidly in the UK, affecting top brands including Jaguar Land Rover, Marks & Spencer and Co-op, it’s essential for businesses to have a good IT team in place to help prevent attacks or breeches going further.”
3RS IT Solutions offers free cyber security training sessions for all of its customers to help strengthen their defences and raise staff awareness against evolving threats.
Ethan continues: “As part of our cyber security training, we provide practical guidance on identifying threats such as phishing and ransomware, safe internet and email practices, password security, and steps to protect sensitive business data.
“Keeping software and systems updated, implementing advanced email and endpoint security solutions, alongside regularly backing up data, and enforcing strong password and access management policies are all vital in protecting against such attacks.”
