Cybersecurity: Arm Your Team to Protect Your Business

There’s an old sports saying that goes, “the best defence is a good offence” and that’s true when it comes to cybersecurity too. It’s a far better idea to proactively prevent threats than to try to fix a cybersecurity breach once it’s already happened.

Given that 95% of breaches are due to human error, your team is the most important first line of defence for your organisation. Cyber risk is surging, with breaches up 38% in 2022, compared to 2021. According to the 2022 Official Cybercrime Report published by Cybersecurity Ventures and sponsored by eSentire, small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are more vulnerable to cyberattacks, with over half of all attacks targeting them. Shockingly, 60% of these SMBs are forced to shut down within six months of a data breach or hack. This highlights the need for businesses to prioritize cybersecurity and help their employees identify and avoid potential threats to keep their business protected.

Numata’s free Baseline Employee Cybersecurity Assessment focuses on empowering your “human firewall”. While people are a vulnerability, by empowering them with the right skills and getting their buy-in to understand the importance of a proactive approach, they can become your strongest asset. 

You likely have some security measures in place, but have you focused on the people aspect? If so, have your efforts been effective? Take our free Baseline Employee Cybersecurity Assessment to find out how your team measures up. 

Here’s how it works:

  1. We provide a risk assessment questionnaire that all your business’s employees need to fill in online (which will take less than half an hour of their time).
  2. The goal of the assessment is to identify your organisation and its employees’ overall competency in cybersecurity topics and potential cybersecurity risks.
  3. Topics include:
      Phishing awareness 
      Working remotely
      Handling PII
      General cybersecurity knowledge
      Password hygiene
      Social media

After the assessment, we send you a results report, highlighting your organisation’s cybersecurity posture, as well as individualised scoring details.
