Cyber Threat Protection

Small businesses frequently underestimate the risk of cyber threats. Attacks are constantly evolving with new and malicious ways to breach your business IT systems. Hackers may attempt to sell your confidential data in cybercrime forums, or encrypt your data until you pay a ransom. When weighing the potential cost of a cyberattack to your business you must factor in:

• Technical fees
• Compliance fines
• Attorney fees
• Loss of revenue
• Loss of customers and business relationships

It’s not surprising that 60 percent of small companies go out of business within six months of a cyberattack. Getting professional advice is crucial. DIGIGUARD cybersecurity experts will assess and analyze threats and develop a protection and mitigation plan for your small business. We will look at the risk for known threats and vulnerabilities including:

• Malware – Malicious software designed to disrupt, damage or access your system.
• Advanced malware – Advanced persistent threats designed for stealth.
• Ransomware – Attackers access your business data and hold it hostage until you pay a ransom.
• Denial of service – Multi-source attacks flood your server with messages and requests and slow or crash your website functions.
• Web-based cyberattacks – Weaknesses in applications that allow cybercriminals to gain direct and public access to databases.
• Insider threats – Carelessness, errors and dishonest employees threaten small business data security.
• Social engineering and phishing – Malware enters your network and data system when an employee clicks on an email attachment or text message.
• SQL injection – Malicious code allowing cybercriminals to gain administrative rights to your database.
• Corrupted, lost and stolen devices – Employee-owned devices and mobile devices have complicated business cybersecurity and increased risk of attack.
• Cross-site scripting – An attacker injects data, such as a malicious script, into content from otherwise trusted websites.
