There is no bulletproof way to prevent a cyber-attack. To keep pace with the evolving threat landscape, consistent vigilance and adaptation is essential.

It is important to acknowledge that cyber security doesn’t have to get in the way of productivity. Getting the basics right and providing a solid foundation protects against 98% of attacks (Microsoft Digital Defence Report). The basics being antimalware, least privilege access, multi-factor authentication, patching, and backup are the good hygiene practices most businesses are already leveraging.
