Listen "Security, SMEs, and new ways of working"
Episode Synopsis
Smaller businesses are no means immune to cyber attack.
In fact, there is growing evidence that criminal groups are targetting smaller businesses.
One reason is the changes to working practices brought on by the pandemic, with more remote access and the use of consumer IT. And smaller firms are being used as a way to infiltrate the supply chains of their larger customers.
What, though, can smaller companies do to improve their security?
Improved training, clearer IT policies and better use of security tools, including those that come with SaaS suites, all help according to this week's guest.
