Cyber attacks are alarmingly common. In the Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2022, 39% of UK businesses identified a cyber security attack, ranging from phishing and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) to attacks involving malware and ransomware.
Of course, everyone wants to protect their business from cyber attacks. However, it’s not always a straightforward process. Attacks change and vary in sophistication and reach, and it’s not necessarily possible for one person to know everything about such a complex, evolving and expansive field.
What’s more, it’s common for those inside an organisation to be blind to its strengths and weaknesses. This is why it’s so valuable to bring a security partner on board to carry out a cyber security health check.
Here are three ways BT can help.
1. Getting to know you
At BT, the first step to our cyber security health check is about getting to know your organisation. Based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cyber Security Framework, we examine the landscape, the shape and size of your business, your operating model and strategy. The more we understand how far a cyber attack can penetrate, the easier it is to predict exactly how it might play out.
