Cheap Cyber Security = Costly Damage Control

It seems that when it comes to Cyber Security, people go for the cheapest option, not the most effective and secure.

It is becoming more and more apparent that this way of thinking indicates that you do not know how important Cyber Security is for the productivity of your organisation.

Yes, there are people out there that are overpriced and you should find the most cost effective option but cost effective doesn’t mean the cheapest option that doesn’t give you the full protection you require.

If you are informed and know what is needed as a baseline, you would know that you can get great support and protection for a good price.

Cyber Security has been at the forefront of the news lately and breaches are at an all-time high, meaning that if your organisation hasn’t been breached, it is only a matter of time.

That being said, why is it that you are taking cyber security less seriously and assume that a little security that doesn’t cover all the vulnerabilities will suffice?

You can no longer say it won’t happen to you or you will deal with it if it ever happens because the reality is it is going to happen to you and you are going to have to deal with the major losses that come with a breach.

Whether you are a big or small business the long-lasting damage will be done and the cost to rectify that plus put in more security so that it won’t happen again will be double what you would’ve paid just to have the right cyber security partners and solutions in place to prevent a breach.

With Cyber Security you need to think of the long term and stop thinking in short term costs to company right now, if that is your mindset then it is going to be a long, hard and unsecure road with major losses and damage.

Why take the risk? Why not make sure you are fully covered and if you have solutions in place that are working, don’t trade it in for a lesser option that has half the support and security.

Don’t allow yourself to be a victim and don’t allow your organisation to be a sitting duck.

The time is now, get protected and stay secure.

Let’s get real.
