What cyber security does your business have in place?      Research late last year found small and medium businesses are one of the least cyber prepared sectors. It was revealed only 15% of SMEs conduct extensive training around scams and cyber security risks, while four in 10 had “not much training at all”.     Today NAB is urging Australian businesses to boost their defence, offering a year of free cyber security software to eligible small and medium business customers in partnership with global cyber security firm CrowdStrike.      “As Australia’s leading business bank, we have a key role to play in helping educate and assist small and medium-sized businesses to ensure they remain secure. That’s why NAB is doing what it can to help lift the cyber security resilience of our customers,” NAB Chief Security Officer Sandro Bucchianeri said.     Find out more about the offer and further support available in the link below: https://lnkd.in/gUCvfyNx

As your business grows, your IT demands will become more complex, and your security risks more prevalent. Finding the right managed service provider can be crucial to the success of your business and key to growth. Having the right team of experts with knowledge across all the current and emerging technology for your needs is vital. Even if you already have an established IT team, how much of their precious time is being spent on backups, patching, and keeping the lights on, rather than working on higher value projects? Partnering with Tecala for the attainment of optimal technology utilisation, savings, and productivity gains offers several advantages: 🔶 Local service and support desk 🔶 IT infrastructure management 🔶 Security and threat protection 🔶 Network management 🔶 Business-critical device and application support 🔶 Automation, Data, and AI “When it comes to Managed IT, partnering with a company like Tecala provides your business with the strategic and operational advantage of utilising high-end, on-demand managed ICT services and facilities.

Cyber Security Awareness Month is coming to a close – but that doesn’t mean your online vigilance should! ⚠️   Remember: ​cyber security is everyone’s business. Protect yourself online by taking the actions recommended by the Australian Department of Home Affairs:   ➡️ Enable multi-factor authentication on all your accounts if available. ➡️ Install software updates as soon as they’re available, or turn on automatic updates. ➡️ Use strong, unique passphrases for each account and use a password manager to keep track of them. ➡️ Recognise and report phishing, to increase our collective resilience.   For more information on how to protect yourself and your business online, contact our team of cyber security specialists 👇🏽 https://myempire.group   #cybersecurity #cybersecurityawarenessmonth #cybercrime #cam2024 #cybersecurityiseveryonesbusiness
