It is more important than ever to take steps to prevent cyber criminals from gaining access to your accounts, data, and devices. According to AAG IT Services, 32% of UK small businesses reported suffering an attack or cyber breach between 2022 - 2023; this figure rises to 59% for medium businesses and 69% for large businesses.
London Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) recognises the essential role that cyber security professionals play in protecting businesses in London from malware. We are proud to represent the sector at LCCI, and have a programme of benefits to help businesses in this field raise their profile and connect with potential clients.
Cybercrime is the most significant serious and organised crime threat to UK businesses, and yet it is hard to get cyber security right. From technical jargon to constant evolutions, the world of cyber can be confusing and daunting. Richard Stephens shares why cyber security is so hard for businesses to get right in the latest issue of London Business Matters.
To address the challenges that the evolving threat of business crime poses LCCI has developed a Business Crime Hub. The hub includes business support and resources to help you prevent, mitigate, respond to, and report crime. We have also formed a Business Crime Committee focused on various types of business crime, including cyber security and supply chain vulnerabilities.
We have partnered with The Cyber Resilience Centre for London to offer LCCI Members an exclusive £150 discount off Cyber Essentials Certification. Cyber Essentials is a government-backed, industry-supported scheme to help organisations protect themselves against cybercrime and includes a set of basic technical tools and processes that can guard against the most common cyber-attacks.
