When we talk to schools and businesses about the risk of being hacked, most assume the hackers are motivated to make loads of money.
And yes that’s true. It’s their primary motivation. However, there are other things they want from your business and school.
Your data, for one. They’ll make you pay to get it back. And if it has value, also sell it on the dark web to other criminals.
Some hackers will also infiltrate your system to install malicious code, which will then send out thousands of spam emails.
This can have a very negative effect on your website and domain. Some visitors may be given warnings that your website is not safe.
What impact could that have on the trust people place in your organisation?
Having a good firewall in place can prevent many attempts to sabotage your school or business.
A firewall is the first line of defence. It monitors threats to your network and works continuously rather than reactively, giving you a much better level of protection.
Do you have a good firewall in place?
