A new campaign to provide practical ways for organisations to protect themselves from common online threats.

Business owners are being urged to “lock the door” on criminals as the UK government launches a new campaign to provide practical ways for organisations to protect themselves from common online threats.

Appearing across social media, podcasts, radio and business networks, the campaign aims to reach busy small and medium sized businesses where they are.

It will encourage them to engage with the UK government’s Cyber Essentials scheme which sets out clear practical steps they can take to protect themselves from the most common cyber attacks.

It comes as new figures show the scale of threat facing businesses. Significant cyber incidents cost an average of £195,000 and half of all small businesses have suffered a cyber breach or attack in the last 12 months.
