We are delighted to announce a new feature that we hope will change how small businesses approach cyber security!
We will be unveiling real-life case studies that highlight businesses who have fallen victim to cybercrime in our new 'Talk of the Town: Cyber Insiders' feature. These aren’t just stories - they’re in-depth breakdowns of how cyberattacks happen, the devastating consequences they can bring, and most importantly, tales of how these businesses recovered and bounced back even stronger!
Imagine diving into the gritty details of how cybercriminals exploited vulnerabilities, how the attacks were discovered, and what steps these small businesses took to rebuild their defences. These case studies are packed with valuable insights that will help your business avoid the same fate.
Whether it’s ransomware, data breaches, hackings, or phishing scams, each case study is from a small business, usually on the high street, and the aim is not to alarm business owners, but to impart a cautionary tale with the message: it happened to them, so it could happen to you!
We want businesses to remain one step ahead of cyber threats, and research suggests that case studies make business owners stop and think more than any other information source.
Maybe you're reading this as a small business owner and you have a story to tell us, to act as a warning to a similar-sized business. If so, please get in touch. We can share your story with our readers, either anonymously, or with a big shout out to your business.
Cyber crime happens, and becoming a victim of it is nothing to be ashamed of, but it is something that businesses can learn from and ought to know about.
