How prepared are you to respond to a cyber-attack?
In the shadow of what has been suggested as Ireland’s most significant ransomware cyber-attack, bringing the HSE to a near standstill, organisations should now be asking themselves: how prepared are we for a cyber-attack?
Organisations of all sizes are under the continuous threat of becoming the next victim of a cyber-attack that may significantly impact their ability to operate effectively or, in extreme circumstances, operate in the same way ever again. Without a structured approach to cyber security, it is more a case of when, as opposed to if a cyber-attack may occur.
Technical detection and prevention solutions are no longer enough to reduce the risk of becoming a victim of cyber-crime.
