Customers Are Ready to Break Up With Businesses That Have Breaches

While data breach can be an expensive and complex recovery proposition for your company, there’s one area that you may never fully repair: customer trust. Customers are indicating that they’re more motivated than ever to terminate their relationships with firms that can’t keep their data safe – and that’s bad news for the 49% of companies that will experience a data breach this year. 

While that number is high (and continues growing) there’s one sure-fire way to reduce your risk of joining the club. That’s good news for your business because a recent cybersecurity poll determined that customers are 84% less likely to do business with a company that’s been breached. 

The secret? Security awareness training. Engaging in regularly updated security awareness training including phishing resistance training is crucial for reducing your risk of having a cybersecurity incident. Adequate cybersecurity awareness training reduces your chance of a disaster like a data breach by up to 70%. 

That’s why we make sure that we’re constantly updating the content in BullPhish ID, like adding 4 plug-and-play phishing training kits every month. Studies show that the maximum length of time for employees to retain cybersecurity training is about 4 months, which means that we’ll have plenty of campaign kits (including COVID-19 threats) available for your staff when you launch your next cybersecurity awareness training initiative.

Ransomware Incidents and Expenses Are on the Rise – and No Business is Safe

 

Ransomware is a terrifying threat that every business is facing these days and a favored tool of cybercriminals. Ransomware incidents are becoming more frequent, and both ransoms and recoveries are growing more expensive. Here are our best tips for avoiding getting caught up by expensive, damaging ransomware.  

Add an automated phishing defense solution. Your employees can’t click on a ransomware-laden email if they never get it. Automated phishing protection using a smart solution like Graphus reduces the chances of a dangerous email reaching your employees and also provides warnings to call out unusual communications. 

Never stop training. Cybercriminals are constantly updating their phishing attack playbooks. Shouldn’t you be constantly updating your phishing resistance training to fight back? When you use BullPhish ID for phishing awareness training, you have access to more than 100 plug-and-play phishing simulation kits, with new kits added every month to ensure that you’re training for the latest threats. 

Lock your doors. Take the sting out of a stolen, phished, or cracked password by adding secure identity and access management to your defenses. It’s a recommended mitigation for cybercrime by the FBI. Choose a multifunctional solution like Passly to get all of the features that you need like multifactor authentication, secure shared password vaults, and easy remote management, in one affordable package. 

By making a few simple and affordable tweaks to your defensive security plan, you can add several shields to protect your systems and data (and your bottom line) from the devastating effect of a ransomware disaster.
