Businesses are in dire need of upping their cybersecurity protocols.
Earlier this month, thanks to new GDPR laws, the Financial Conduct Authority fined Tesco Bank a whopping £16.4 million for failing to appropriately address a cyber attack in November 2016. The criminals made off with £2.26 million, leaving Tesco Bank in deep remorse and with a damaged reputation.
However, Tesco was not the only institution to be caught in a cyber fix; organisations like Dixons Carphone, Facebook, British Airways and Superdrug have all also fallen victim to data hacks. In fact, in the last year, 231,028 security breaches on British businesses were recorded, resulting in compromised finances and security of private information of thousands of individuals across the UK.
