The past two years provided arguably the most challenging operating conditions for organisations in a lifetime.
It’s important to reflect on how events affected your organization, and how to ensure you can continue to function safely through 2022 and beyond.
Business continuity planning and cyber security are two important areas that you can address with relatively little outlay. Moreover, your investment will bring significant benefits in time, and reassure existing and prospective customers that your organization can withstand whatever challenges 2022 might bring.
Lessons learned from 2021
The pandemic forced many organisations to shift to remote working, with little time to properly assess and adapt to the new security risks they were exposed to.
Many switched to a hybrid working model. However, the focus was on ensuring they could continue to operate rather than putting in place the necessary security measures to safeguard themselves against attack.
Cyber criminals saw this as an opportunity to take advantage, resulting in a huge increase in cyber attacks, phishing campaigns and the targeting of security vulnerabilities in popular software.
There was also a huge increase in ransomware attacks – up by 151% in the first half of 2021 compared with the same period in 2020.
