“The fact that two thirds of businesses in Britain have been targeted by cyber-attacks in the last year should come as no surprise. You just need to take a look at the amount of companies being hit by attacks to see the rapid growth of fraud, malicious intent and attack capabilities. What is more shocking is that half of firms are still not tackling this issue. According to Fujitsu’s predictions report, we can expect a growth of DDoS attacks, insider threats and also phishing in the next year, and as such everyone should be doing more to prevent theft.

“Because of this, it’s vital both consumers and organisations take a proactive approach when it comes to security. Organisations need to focus on the integration of threat intelligence and other information sources to provide the context necessary to deal with today’s advanced cyber threats. There must also be a clear and well-rehearsed incident management plan for a breach, addressing internal and external communication in addition to containment and recovery activities.

“As the sophistication and regularity of security attacks continue to increase, it has never been more important for both consumers and organisations to protect their assets appropriately.”
