Most of the cases of cybercrime are a result of the “human factors” – the role we all have to play in preventing criminals getting access to your company’s data. Criminals use our desire to be liked and helpful in designing ways to get their hands on information. This is aimed at helping SMEs and professional services organisations and giving them practical tools and awareness to make sure their data is kept secure.
