Rob Lay, Fujitsu UK: hacker attacks on UK businesses are now ‘inevitable’

June 2015 by Rob Lay, Customer Solutions Architect at Fujitsu UK

“The news that cyber-attacks on British businesses are now almost inevitable comes as no surprise. Businesses have to recognise that they need to position themselves so that they can respond quickly and effectively when an incident happens and that they return their business to a normal mode of operation as quickly as possible.

“This requires focus in multiple areas, and taking a risk based approach that is aligned to the business strategy will help companies to achieve this. It should include looking at what critical assets need protection, what security controls and processes already exist within the business, the maturity of those controls, and ensuring that a security strategy exists that supports the broader business strategy.

“With studies revealing that nearly half of the worst security breaches were due to an element of human error, it is also vital that businesses educate employees of the dangers posed by security threats. A good place to start for businesses is having an intranet site that can deliver regular security updates and advisories for employees, and have security champions spread throughout the business. It should also include security awareness training for both new and existing employees, and this ought to include contractors who will be working within the enterprise as well.

“By following this approach, it will help ensure that businesses are able to keep pace with the rapidly changing threat landscape, position themselves to effectively recover from security incidents, and target future investments and developments in security to those areas that need it most.”
