What to do if your business is hacked

what to do if your business is hacked

Do you know what to do if your business is hacked? Suddenly, systems stop working, or you have that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach when you realise money has been stolen through a cyber security attack. Here’s what to do if your business is attacked. 

Getting a review of what happened and how it happened is important so you can properly fix the vulnerability and improve Cyber Security Protection and avoid further attacks as many companies get hit multiple times.

It’s been shown that $174 million has been stolen from Australian businesses in the last year through fake Zoom invitation which were then used to compromise the business’s email system. The Australian Federal Police have now formed a task force to address this crime.

This kind of situation can easily occur if your employees are not trained with the most up-to-date cyber security information to detect a spam email. 

Employee training, high-level cyber security strategy and hiring a business cyber expert to manage your security services are three things you can do immediately to start protecting your business. 

Conducting a penetration test on your current security system is also an essential step toward setting-up the right systems to prevent another attack. Purposefully “attacking” your system using real world hacking techniques from a “friendly” (white hacker) to show exactly where your business is vulnerable.
 
Another quick solution you can implement today is to add Xsurflog.com browser extension to all of your employee’s computers. Xsurflog helps your business to detect and protect against phishing attacks by monitoring the websites your employees visit for compliance and security reasons. Phishing attacks are one of the largest cyber scams happening right now. Vist Xsurflog now to begin protecting your business from employees unintentionally clicking on phishing scams and making your business vulnerable to a cyber attack. 

You can no longer rely on hope as your security strategy and hope that it won’t happen to your business. Sadly, crime is going up and business’ ability to withstand cyber attacks is going down.
