Cyber Security for your Business
At Vector we have been working to working to improve our own cyber security posture, including achieving Cyber Essentials Plus certification.
This is a UK government-backed certification scheme that helps organisations protect themselves against common cyber threats. It sets out five key technical controls that, when properly implemented, defend against around 80% of common cyber attacks.
It is managed by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and delivered through accredited certification bodies.
What Is Ransomware?
Ransomware is a type of malicious software that locks or encrypts your files and systems, holding them hostage until a ransom is paid – often in cryptocurrency. Attackers may also threaten to leak stolen data if the ransom isn’t met.
