Cyber security poses a significant challenge for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the UK, with a notable disconnect between awareness and action. According to the Cyber Security Breaches Survey of 2023, a substantial 83% of SMEs recognise the importance of cyber security, yet nearly a third did not take any action following their most disruptive breaches. This indicates a critical gap that needs addressing. For SMEs looking to bolster their cyber defences, consider these key steps: ➡️ Regularly update operating systems to patch existing security vulnerabilities. ➡️ Implement two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security. ➡️ Encourage strong password practices and the use of reputable password management tools. ➡️ Install trusted anti-virus software to guard against malware and other cyber threats. ➡️ Ensure regular data backups to enable efficient recovery from data loss incidents. As remote work becomes more prevalent, SMEs must also address specific risks associated with this shift, such as increased vulnerability to phishing attacks and the need for effective remote security policies.

The 2021 article by BT’s, Sana Rejibi, remains as relevant as ever in today’s cybersecurity landscape. With the rapid evolution of digital threats, businesses in Norfolk and Suffolk, and beyond, face increasing pressure to secure their data and systems. Credential theft is still a top concern, but the tools and strategies for addressing it have significantly advanced since 2021. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) has gone from being a "nice-to-have" to an essential layer of defence for organisations of all sizes. However, the cybersecurity world hasn’t stopped there. Here’s what your business needs to know: Adoption of Passwordless Solutions: Many organisations are now moving beyond MFA to adopt passwordless authentication. This reduces the risks associated with weak or stolen passwords and improves the user experience. Technologies like biometric authentication and hardware keys are becoming mainstream. Integration of AI in Cybersecurity: AI now plays a critical role in identifying and responding to cyber threats in real-time. Predictive analysis helps stop attacks before they cause damage, making systems more robust than ever. Zero Trust Architecture is the New Standard: Businesses are moving towards Zero Trust models, ensuring no user or device is trusted by default. MFA and passwordless authentication are integral to this paradigm, which assumes that every access attempt could be a potential threat. Increased Regulatory Pressure: The implementation of new global standards has further solidified the need for strong authentication measures. Compliance isn’t just good practice; it’s a legal necessity. BT N&S LB: Supporting Local Businesses with Cutting-Edge Solutions At BT N&S LB, we are proud to support Norfolk and Suffolk businesses in securing their data and critical systems. Working with trusted partners, we provide advanced solutions such as: Cisco Duo’s Passwordless Authentication: Secure, efficient, and user-friendly methods for accessing critical applications. Customised Cybersecurity Roadmaps: Tailored to your business needs, helping you navigate the complex landscape of modern cyber threats. Local Expertise, Global Reach: As part of BT, we bring global resources with a local touch, ensuring Norfolk and Suffolk businesses are always protected. The future of cybersecurity lies in proactive, adaptive measures. Whether you’re looking to implement passwordless technology, enhance your Zero Trust architecture, or simply strengthen your defences, our team is here to help. Don’t wait for cyber threats to knock on your door. Contact us today to secure your future. Call 01603 789 898 and speak with our friendly team of local experts. We're looking forward to speaking with you soon.
