The Cyber security subscription designed for the Accountancy sector
It is becoming increasingly common to hear mention of the names of professional services firms in the press in connection with a cyber breach incident.
Cyber-attacks have become a fact of life, highlighting the ever-evolving challenges that all professional services firms need to meet. Preserving confidentiality is a core professional duty, and a failure to do so can lead to several exposures.
Professional services firms, including accountants and auditors, are often viewed as good targets for hackers, due to the wealth of sensitive confidential data they hold and because firms can be perceived to have less sophisticated data security than clients in, for example, the financial services and healthcare sectors.
A cyber breach can occur due to several factors - for example: an employee opening a dubious attachment to an email or responding with passwords or other security information to a phishing attack, the introduction of malware via a third-party supplier's system, or the failure to keep software up to date leaving vulnerabilities in the system open to exploitation. It can be more difficult for smaller firms to protect themselves from attack, as they do not have the same resources to invest in cyber-security defences and training as do larger organisations.
A well-protected practice has the potential to be confident and the most innovative. The smartest firms don’t just manage cyber risk, they use it as a source of growth and market edge. Technology makes many things possible, but possible doesn’t always mean safe. As cyber threats grow in volume and sophistication and technology becomes essential for meeting the needs of your clients, employees, suppliers and society, your cyber security must build resilience and trust.
