Businesses need to get informed


and take the right steps to increase the resiliency of their systems


security partner specialising in small and medium businesses • Ensure all your security software is correctly


configured, and check that none of your sensitive information is internet-facing • Test your vulnerability to attack using


penetration testing (also known as ethical hacking) • Don’t rely on an MSP for cyber security.


They’re great at what they do, but most are not security experts, and are vulnerable to attack Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) In recent months, DDoS is becoming an


increasingly common tactic leveraged before and during ransomware attacks. Attackers use bots to direct huge quantities of fraudulent traffic to a victim’s website and online services, seeking to overwhelm their system and prevent real traffic from getting through. DDoS might be utilised as a distraction


tactic, enabling hackers to enter new parts of the system and steal data undetected. Increasingly, they’re also used to build the pressure to pay a ransom – meaning that a DDoS attack will be threatened if a ransom payment is not delivered on time. Some


hackers demand a ransom to prevent a future DDoS attack. How to protect yourself from a DDoS attack: • You need a CDN or DDoS Protection


service that can filter out malicious traffic while allowing legitimate users to get through. • Get to know your typical internet traffic


patterns, so you can identify when something’s not right • Implement the cyber hygiene controls


recommended by the NCSC Green concluded: “Businesses need to


remain vigilant, but there is no need to panic... Staying informed and working with cyber security experts to implement the right preventative measures will ensure that your cyber resiliency is strong and makes it far more difficult for a malicious party to


penetrate your system.” 1
