IN THE SPOTLIGHT: BUSINESS CRIME & PROTECTION


All In Black provide security for a range of events


A BUSY EVENTS SEASON FOR SECURITY COMPANY


As summer approaches, Milton Keynes-based national security company All In Black have begun preparing for event season across the UK. The firm will be providing security


for a wide range of events, including a religious festival in Middlesex that All In Black have been proud to be a part of for almost three years. The festival, Parkash Smagam,


sees two different communities come together to celebrate and promote


peace within the community. In September, Milton Keynes


Lightning begin their opening season in the NIHL League and All In Black will provide security for all of their home events, as well as once again returning as a sponsor for the team as they fight their way to the top. All In Black, based in Auckland


Park, are also hosting several recruitment events for the company’s static sites in Hampshire and Central London as well as developing the


staff base in Milton Keynes and local areas. Managing director Aaron Mills said:


“All In Black attend many business meetings within the Milton Keynes area to help promote our services and expand our existing portfolio of clients. “We aim to further develop our


mobile patrol, guarding and Key holding services within Milton Keynes providing local businesses with a safe and efficient security service.”


PRACTISING GOOD CYBER HYGIENE IS IMPORTANT


Around half of companies in the East of England do not have a strategy in place to mitigate the risk of cyber crime or business continuity plans to execute in the event of an attack, according to a new poll from the Milton Keynes office of financial and business advisers Grant Thornton. The survey, conducted at a series of cyber security


awareness events held by the firm across the region, revealed that although two thirds of attending companies had been targeted by cyber crime, only 53% had developed strategies against attacks and just 50% had business continuity plans should they fall victim to a breach, leaving them highly vulnerable. According to the 2019 Cyber Security Breaches


Survey*, 60% of mid-sized businesses (50-249 employees) and 61% of large businesses (more than 250 people) in the UK identified a cyber breach or attack in the last 12 months, although small businesses (10-49 employees) are not immune to the threat. However, the National Audit Office estimates 80% of all attacks could potentially be avoided by exercising good cyber hygiene.


24 inbusiness AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2019 Grant Thornton says it is imperative for local


organisations to take the threat of cyber crime seriously and having all the protections and systems in place to prevent a breach or mitigate any fallout from an attack is crucial for business longevity. James Arthur, head of cyber consulting at Grant


Thornton, comments: “Cyber security isn’t just a technical problem, it’s a risk that should be managed in a similar way as all other business risks. “The continuous development of new methods to


connect and share information increases the chance of a security threat. Our poll results clearly show a cyber attack is not just something that ‘happens to other businesses’; it’s a real issue that can affect us all and cause severe damage to an organisation’s immediate business capability and reputation.”
