This Month's Resilience Brief

A few months ago, this author penned a Resilience Brief assessing the cost of a serious cyber incident for SMEs and the short- and medium-term actions to deploy to protect against cyber threats.

In January’s Resilience Guide, our partner Cyberzen emphasised the critical importance of three immediate operational actions: implementing backups, keeping software up to date, and managing passwords effectively.

For February’s Guide, we’re diving deep into the world of backups: what they are, how they function, and why they matter to your business.

Why It Matters. Think of data backup as your business’s life insurance policy—a vital safety net that not only shields you from the devastating impact of cyberattacks but also protects against hardware failures, natural disasters, and those all-too-human errors that can bring operations grinding to a halt. Just as you wouldn’t leave your physical premises uninsured, your digital assets deserve the same level of protection—perhaps even more so, given that they often represent the heart of your business operations and competitive advantage.

What Now? This guide has been designed to provide concrete, accessible, cost-effective actions that can be implemented immediately.
