The cost of a data breach is increasing and expected to continue growing as more organizations get hit by cyber attacks. Data breaches are not just expensive for businesses; they also affect individuals who suffer from identity theft and financial fraud after their personal information is stolen by hackers.

It’s not just about protecting your data, reputation or customers. It’s about protecting all of those things at once–and more importantly, it’s about keeping your employees safe from harm and ensuring that they don’t suffer any negative consequences because of a cyber attack on your organization.

If your company has a culture of security, you’re more likely to survive a cyberattack.

If you’re in charge of a company, it’s important to understand that security is more than just a technology problem. It’s about mindset and culture–a shared responsibility among your employees.

If you want to create a culture of security, here are some things you can do:

  • Start talking about cybersecurity as early as possible in the hiring process (during interviews). The best way to find out if someone understands the importance of keeping their data safe is by asking them about it directly!
  • Make sure your company has basic cybersecurity practices in place before employees start working there so they know what those practices look like when they arrive on day one–and so there aren’t any surprises later down the line when something goes wrong.

You can take steps towards becoming more secure today!

  • Use a password manager
  • Use two-factor authentication
  • Install an antivirus program and keep it up to date
  • Use a VPN when you’re on public WiFi or using public computers, especially if you work remotely. A VPN (Virtual Private Network) creates an encrypted tunnel between your computer and the internet, so if someone hacks into your connection they won’t be able to see what you’re doing online. The best part? Most are free!
  • Turn on firewalls on all of your devices (computer, phone etc.)

Cybersecurity is an important part of success in business today.

The cyber world is growing more complex every day. As we become more reliant on technology to run our businesses and our lives, the need for cybersecurity becomes even greater than before–and it isn’t just something you do once: it has to be ongoing and ever-changing because threats are constantly evolving as well!

Conclusion

The future of business is digital, and cybersecurity is the key to survival in this new world. If you want your company to succeed, it’s time to take steps towards becoming more secure today!
