Cyber Security -- The Good, The Bad and The Downright Ugly...
Since you're here and reading this, let's get the discussion started.
First, the Top 3 pieces of Cyber Security good news...
- Channels of Support: In today's business environment, there are numerous sources of cyber expertise available to organisations of all sizes, fitting all budgets and that are cost effective.
- Types of Support: Cyber solutions range from simple (existing tools) to complex (proprietary solutions) which, depending on how businesses are structured, will result in cost effective improvements in Cyber Posture.
- Differentiate your Business: When companies take steps to protect the information your customers and partners entrust to you, it can smooth the sales process and bolster your reputation in your chosen market.
Next, the Top 3 pieces of Cyber Security bad news...
- Perception of Complexity: Cyber Security may be perceived to be too complex or technical to implement.
- Perception of Low Risk: Small organisations may perceive themselves to be low risk, but cyber criminals target small businesses because they don't know they are vulnerable.
- Difficulty in Measuring ROI: A failure to understand the return on investment (ROI) for Cyber Security can make it difficult for small businesses to justify the perceived expense.
Finally, the Top 3 pieces of Cyber Security ugly news...

Employing scarce Cyber Security resources whose CVs promise to solve all your problems comes at an astronomical cost.
