ALL UK BUSINESSES MUST ACT NOW!
THE HARD TRUTH BEHIND THE LATEST CYBER WARNINGS
Right now Millions of companies across Britain have been warned to prepare for a cyber attack as the UK recently placed sanctions on three wealthy allies of Vladimir Putin and five banks in response to Russia’s unprovoked, premeditated attack against Ukraine.
'Security researchers have warned there has been a 'historical pattern
of cyber attacks on Ukraine with international consequences'.
This has prompted:
Home Secretary Priti Patel, warns that the UK Government 'expects to see cyber-attacks aimed at the West'.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Watchdog sent letters warning every bank in Britain about the impending cyber-attacks, stressing how important it is that they 'conduct a full review of their security measures before it becomes too late'
The NCSC chief executive Lindy Cameron advised of a 'heightened cyber threat'
The day before Russia’s unprovoked invasion and attack on Ukraine, a new cyber-attack was
targeted at a number of Ukrainian entities. This targeted attack programme has been named
“HermeticWiper” and is specifically designed to target hard drives and wipe data from them.
Extremely dangerous and well-funded cyber crime rings have been traced back, with current data indicating that "Attempted Unauthorised Logins" are coming from bad actors located unsurprisingly in: Russia, China, Vietnam, Korea and Brazil. In the last year alone, cyber-attacks have increased by 424%.
How do you keep up with the latest trends and information? Well, we've got your back!
We are pleased to announce that, following our meeting with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport last week, we have made our entire range of Cyber Security E-Learning Pathways available for free (not just our clients) to all businesses in need of cyber security skills development.
These pathways cover a wide range of topics, from basic awareness-raising to more advanced technical skills, and are designed to help businesses of all sizes protect themselves against the growing threat of cybercrime. We believe that this is an important step in improving the UK's overall cyber security posture, and we encourage all businesses to take advantage of these resources.
We would like to thank the DCMS for their support in this effort, and we look forward to continuing to work together to improve legislation for Digital Service Providers and UK businesses.
We have made the following awareness-boosting resources available today:
