Companies may expect to pay $3.8 million in the event their data is breached and this breach is often the result of a user’s credentials being compromised, inrsITe.com announces

Microsoft reports the global community is at risk of losing $500 billion to cyber-crime. In fact, the average company may expect to pay around $3.8 million in the event of a data breach. More than 60 percent of these breaches result from a user’s credentials being compromised, and every company needs to make certain they are taking steps to prevent this from happening. Sadly, intruders spend, on average, 146 days within a system before they are detected, thus regular network audits are essential. inrsITe works with clients to ensure they have cybersecurity ( https://www.inrsite.com/services/cybersecurity/) measures in place to protect against these intrusions.
“Cyber-crime accounts for the largest transfer of economic wealth in history, which should be of concern to everyone. No business owner wants to learn their entire venture has been put at risk simply because a user did not change their credentials. This happens quite frequently, however, which shows the importance of cybersecurity measures in organizations of any size,” Mital Patel, spokesperson for inrsITe, explains.
User credentials only highlight one risk to an organization. The Radicati Group estimates 281 billion emails are sent every day, and one of every 131 emails is now believed to contain malware. Any time an employee opens an email, the system is at risk of being compromised. This is the highest rate in five years, and this trend will likely continue. What many don’t realize is 43 percent of cyber attacks are directed at small businesses, as opposed to larger organizations such as Amazon and eBay.
“A business owner can never be too careful. Warren Buffet once declared cyber attacks to be the biggest threat today, one that even overtakes the threat of nuclear weapons. A great deal of time and money has been spent by the federal government researching cyber attacks and the last presidential election. If the government can fall victim to this crime, no business owner should think they are immune,” Patel continues.
Nevertheless, cybersecurity cannot be the sole focus of a business owner. Managed IT services, cloud solutions, and VoIP solutions (a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.inrsite.com/services/voip/”>https://www.inrsite.com/services/voip/) must also be priorities, as they help to increase the efficiency of a business. inrsITe can be of help in these areas and more.
