According to a recent Interpol report, cybercrime cost the South African economy 573 million USD in 2016 alone. Large businesses are not the only targets and almost half of known attacks are targeting small businesses as they potentially have lower defensive barriers.  Small businesses face disproportionately larger costs relative to larger organisations in dealing with Cyber incidents and it can have detrimental effects in their ability to recover financially from an incident. The bottom line is any business that relies on IT technology to support and conduct its business is at risk. Join us for an insightful talk about Cyber Security, what that means for your business and what you can do to start to manage the risk. Your business might depend on it.
