Is your software updated across all of your business devices?
Ensuring that all software is kept up to date is one of the easiest ways to help protect against cyber threats. Cyber criminals often exploit weaknesses in outdated systems, using known vulnerabilities to gain access to sensitive data.
85% of businesses have experienced a phishing attempt or attack.
We run affordable cyber training sessions all around Phishing for non-technical employees.
