Every business is at risk of a cyber-attack. In 2017, cyber attacks on organisations cost the UK economy £10 billion, with 7 out of 10 companies falling victim to a cyber-attack or breach[1].

According to the 2017 Data Breach Investigations Report, more than 90% of cyber-attacks were traced back to human error[2], suggesting that mistakes caused by humans both initiates and amplifies the risk of cyber-crime and the damage it poses to businesses. The best way for business directors, CEOs and managers to combat this threat is to create a risk-aware workplace culture, and that starts with cyber security awareness.

Many small businesses get internet connectivity in what might be called the “traditional” way. That means they order a public switched telephone network (PSTN) telephone line (also known as a “landline”), and then order a broadband service on top of it.

Covid-19 only accelerated what was happening already. According to one calculation, over 101,000Gb of data crisscrosses the internet every second, and that astonishing figure is only going to rise.

While it can be tempting to sign up to the first broadband contract that comes along, there are good reasons why you shouldn’t. And if your current broadband isn’t up to the task, you shouldn’t cling to it either.
