Introduction

Cyber Security has been hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons over the last month. From the giants of JLR to small businesses such as Kido Children’s Nursery, is no business safe? We’ve even heard of a business in the credit and collections industry being targeted by hackers.

In today’s digital world, cyber threats are a constant risk for businesses of all sizes. From data breaches to ransomware attacks, the consequences of inadequate security can be devastating. Financial losses, reputational damage, and operational downtime.

At Saascoms cyber security matters. With millions of customer records on our platforms, we understand our responsibilities.

Why Cyber Security Should Be a Top Priority

Cyber attacks are evolving rapidly. According to recent studies:

• 60% of small businesses close within six months of a cyber attack.

• The average cost of a data breach for JLR has been estimated at £50m per week!

• Human error is one of the leading causes of security incidents.

These statistics underscore the need for a proactive approach to cyber security, especially when choosing technology partners.
