Dutch companies at the forefront of cybersecurity
More and more Dutch companies are seeing the dangers of cybercrime. This is evident from the number of measures companies are taking to prevent a cyber attack. Due to the large increase in digital traffic, the danger of cybercrime will remain present in the coming years. Therefore, cyber insurance no longer seems to be an unnecessary luxury. Has your company already taken measures to counter this form of crime?
Growing risk for businesses
The Dutch are more often victims of cybercrime than of other types of crime. Consequently, this form of digital crime leads to a lot of damage. This can be in the form of lost sales, loss of customers, but also taking measures to prevent a possible (next) hack. More and more companies are therefore investing in cyber security. When it comes to cyber security, the Netherlands is leading the way internationally. Among other things, strong passwords, additional authentication and a VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection when working from home, ensure the proper security of your systems.
In particular, large companies with more than 500 employees do everything possible to prevent a cyber attack. SMEs have a security gap compared to large companies. As a result, they face risks that can be avoided.
What are you doing to protect your business?
There are relatively simple measures you can take yourself to prevent your business from becoming a victim of Internet criminals. For example, a good antivirus system is essential. In addition, it is important that you use strong passwords and have your employees do the same. So keeping your employees well informed is also very important.
Internet criminals, of course, are not sitting still either. They are becoming increasingly sophisticated. The phishing e-mails are becoming so professional that they are almost indistinguishable from the real thing. They are also increasingly trying to find out important data via Skype or telephone. Make sure you are well prepared for this and know that it can happen at any time.
