Cyber safety

Cyber safety has become one of the fastest growing security issues we face in the modern world. Where we were once ‘simply’ concerned with physical threats (burglary, flooding, storm damage etc.) now we have to consider how the technology we use every day can be used against us.

A few common cyber security issues

Cyber safety is far from just the concern of big business; we are all targets. With that in mind, there are things we can all do to keep ourselves a lot safer online – ensuring the convenience of having connected devices isn’t overshadowed by cyber threats. 
To make your online safety as simple as possible, we’ve collaborated with security experts Blackstone Consultancy and created a suite of guides based on the most common threats you may encounter online, ready for you to download.

Things to look out for;

  • Phishing Emails
  • Spearphishing Attacks
  • Online Data Sharing
  • Home Network Attacks
  • Dissatisfied Staff
  • Man-in-the-Middle Attacks.

Cyber safety scenarios

Security

Dissatisfied staff

When allowing people into your home, you're giving them access to much more of your life than you may realise

Security

Home network attacks

All connected devices in the home access the internet through a common point, the router. There is an assumption that they are always secure, but in reality this is not always the case

Security

Man-in-the-middle

Who doesn’t like FREE public Wi-Fi?

Security

Online data sharing

You might be sensible with what you share online, but do you know what your family and friends are sharing?

Security

Phishing emails

We’ve all received reasonably convincing spoof emails from “PayPal” and “bank” imitators at some point, which is why it’s good to have a handy guide to recognising what’s genuine.
