Cyber Security for Business
Imagine your biggest invoice ending up in a hacker’s bank account.
Business email compromise (BEC) is the most common cyber crime reported by Australian businesses.
BEC is where cyber criminals use email to impersonate business owners or staff with the goal to trick victims into sending funds to a bank account operated by the scammer. On average, it costs a business $55,000.
But they lose more than just money.

Frequently Asked Cyber Security Questions
What is cyber security?
Cyber security is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and data from digital attacks. It’s crucial for businesses to prevent data breach, financial loss, and damage to their reputation, especially as cyber attacks become more frequent and sophisticated.
Do small businesses really need to worry about cyber security?
Yes! Small businesses are just as vulnerable to cyberattacks as larger organisations. In fact, cyber criminals often target small businesses because they genrally have less resources dedicated to security, which makes them easier to breach.
How can I tell if my business is vulnerable to cyber attacks?
Common signs of vulnerability include outdated software, a lack of security policies, weak passwords, and untrained employees. Conducting regular security audits and working with cyber security experts can help identify and address potential risks before they’re exploited.
What is multi-factor authentication, and how does it work?
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of protection by requiring users to provide two or more verification factors to log in to their accounts. This can include something you KNOW (a password), something you HAVE (a phone for a verification code), or something you ARE (fingerprint or facial recognition).
What I do if my business experiences a cyber attack?
If your business is the victim of a cyber attack, firstly disconnect any affected devices from the network to prevent further spread. Notify your IT provider or cyber security team immediately, and follow their advice taking each step to contain and mitigate the damage. It’s also important to review your security policies and update your systems to prevent future attacks.
How often should my business back up its data?
Ideally, businesses should back up their data daily to ensure they can recover quickly from a breach or ransomware attack. Using both on-site and cloud-based backups adds extra security and accessibility in case one method fails. If your data changes rapidly- like for ecommerce stores or financial analysts- more frequent backups may be required. Ask us for a customised recommendation.
How can I train my employees to prevent cyber attacks?
Regular cyber security training is vital to helping your employees protect your daya. Employees should be taught how to recognise phishing attempts, use strong passwords, follow safe internet practices, and report suspicious activity. Smart businesses conduct quarterly training sessions and implement policies to keep cyber security top of mind. Ask us if you need help with policies or training.
What are the most common types of cyber attacks?
Common cyber attacks include phishing (fraudulent emails to steal sensitive information), ransomware (malware that locks files until a ransom is paid), and malware (malicious software) infections. Businesses also need to be mindful of threats within the business, where employees unintentionally or deliberately compromise security. Humans are the gateway for 90% of breaches.
What is the Essential Eight, and why is it important?
The Essential Eight is a set of strategies developed by the Australian Cyber Security Centre to help businesses improve their cyber security. Essential Eight is a tiered system of protection that includes actions like application whitelisting, patching systems, and regular backups. Following the Essential Eight can significantly reduce the risk of cyber attacks. Ask us about implementing Essential Eight into your cyber security stack.
What is ransomware, and how do I protect my business from it?
Ransomware is malicious software that encrypts your data, making it inaccessible until a ransom is paid. To protect your business, ensure you have regular backups, use updated antivirus software, and train your employees how to spot phishing emails, the most common delivery method for ransomware.
