Cyber Security is the protection of computer systems and networks from the theft of or damage to their hardware, software, or electronic data, as well as from the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The need for dependable Cyber Security is driven by a number of factors;

Ransomeware and data theft
Cyber criminals typically infiltrate an organisation and remain hidden for months to accumulate and steal data. However, we're seeing an increase in the usage of ransomware. Payment of the ransom to decrypt the seized data only makes organisations bigger targets in cyber criminal groups.

Loss of reputation and revenue
Clients and customers of businesses that are breached by cyber criminals are likely to be unsympathetic. Negative sentiment, loss of reputation and loss of revenue are often the consequences for businesses that fail to keep the sensitive data of their clients and customers safe.

Denial of service
Ransom-based Distributed Denial of Service (RDDoS) campaigns are a tactic being increasingly employed by cyber criminals to extort money from businesses. Attackers will flood a business's public servers with internet traffic to overload them and demand money to cease the attack.
