Cyber security continues to shape the tech landscape, especially for small and medium businesses.
From strengthening defenses and embracing Cyber Essentials (or similar certifications), to increased vendor practices and wider adoption of Zero Trust, there are some clear trends.
As a cyber security professional, I want to share some simple yet essential tips to keep your business safe in 2025 and beyond. We’ve been talking about these a lot lately, and for good reason. Unfortunately, more than 90% of breaches are caused by users, so these tips can help your firm remain safe, secure, and preserve client data.
Additionally, it’s important to note that the global threat level has increased to ‘Elevated’ status, which means your business is currently at significant risk of a cyber-attack or breach.
1. Regular Cybersecurity Training: Continuous education and training for employees are crucial in maintaining a strong security posture.
2. AI and Machine Learning: These technologies are becoming essential tools in cybersecurity, helping to detect and respond to threats more efficiently.
3. Comprehensive Cyber Hygiene Routine: Establish regular practices such as updating software, using strong passwords, and reviewing access controls.
4. Vendor Security: Scrutinize your vendors’ IT security policies, as cybercriminals are increasingly targeting vendors and partners.
