Here are four tips to anticipate an attack
Don’t get flat footed – be proactive by using intelligence (e.g. ransomware means you need a robust back up strategy)
Prepare for the worst – assume you will be breached. So how do you DETECT this quickly? What is your incident response?
Develop a strong security posture – multiple layers to your defences
Educate your staff – what they do at home isn’t always right in the office. Data privacy matters
