Most cyberattacks no longer rely on advanced hacking tools, they rely on people. A single click on a suspicious link or a moment of inattention can give an attacker everything they need to breach a business network. Despite this, many organisations spend thousands on software but overlook the simplest, most cost-effective layer of defence: cyber awareness training for employees.
Cybersecurity breaches have been making headlines lately, with notable attacks on global giants like MGM Resorts and Marks & Spencer (M&S). These recent incidents have raised an important question: if even these industry leaders can fall victim to cyberattacks, how secure are small businesses?
Remembering dozens of passwords. Changing them every 90 days. Getting locked out of your account again because of a forgotten character. If that sounds all too familiar, you’re not alone.
Strong cybersecurity measures are no longer just an IT concern, they’re a business necessity. And while firewalls and antivirus software play an important role, one of the most powerful tools in your defence strategy is something far more human: your team.

Imagine walking into your office one morning only to find that your email has been hacked, your customer records are exposed, and your accounting system is locked behind a ransom demand. The cause? A single weak password that an employee reused across multiple platforms.
Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) makes it easy for your team to collaborate – wherever they are in the world.
Email threats are constantly evolving, and even with robust security systems in place, no solution is perfect 100% of the time. That’s why it’s crucial to make sure your defences are agile, responsive, and user-informed.
Let’s be honest — cybersecurity isn’t always the most thrilling subject. But when you’re the one responsible for keeping your business running smoothly, safely, and without disruption, it becomes a lot more relevant. Especially when you consider just how much of your business depends on the internet — emails, cloud apps, video calls, file sharing, customer databases — the list goes on.
