In an era where cyber threats are evolving at an alarming rate, businesses must adapt and fortify their defenses against malicious attacks. The Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2022 reveals a significant increase in phishing and ransomware attacks, emphasizing the urgent need for businesses to take cybersecurity seriously. This is where Cyber Essentials certification becomes crucial.

In today's interconnected world, cyber security is a crucial aspect that all businesses, regardless of their size, must prioritise.

While larger companies often have robust security measures in place, it is the smaller ones that are more vulnerable to cyber attacks.

Cyber criminals are becoming more sophisticated, targeting businesses of all sizes and industries. The consequences of a successful cyber attack can be devastating for SMEs, leading to financial loss, reputational damage, and even the closure of the business.

Aberdeen-based business IT Services provider, IFB, is proud to announce its acceptance to the Trusted Partner scheme established by the Cyber and Fraud Centre Scotland.

This recognition, also endorsed by Police Scotland, reinforces IFB's commitment to providing the highest standards of Cyber Security services which they deliver and support for businesses and organisations.

IFB’s CEO Graeme Gordon commented. “We work with organisations and businesses to deliver the benefits of improved security and where needed achieving certification, IFB believes that no organisation is too small to do this.

With businesses redefining the future of work and continuing to use home working and hybrid working models, the discussion about cyber security is more relevant than ever as businesses look to ensure they are protected as best they can be with a more disperse workforce.
