Cybercrime is the fastest growing crime in the world. Some
reports suggest that you are 20 times more likely to be robbed while at your
computer by a cybercriminal overseas than held up in the street. There are
approximately 4000 cyber-attacks everyday - that’s 170 attacks every hour, or
almost 3 attacks a minute. You may be asking why are these crimes so prevalent,
and so hard to fight? Globally, laws restricting digital crime vary. As much as
70% of cybercrime crosses national borders, which can make solving cybercrimes
a problem that must be tackled through international cooperation, and with the
UN reporting that a third to half of all nations have insufficient legal
framework to criminalize extraterritorial cybercrimes, it can be difficult for
law enforcement to bring these criminals to justice.
To protect your business and yourself, educate your
employees. Employees are your first line of defense against cyber-attacks.
Participating in ongoing security awareness training is key in reducing the
risk and reminds your employees of security best practices.
DCR offers Security Awareness training free of charge to
ensure that your employees understand the policies and procedures of your
organization.
The best security technology in the world cannot help you
unless employees understand their roles and responsibilities in safeguarding
sensitive data and protecting your resources.
