WHAT HAPPENS WHEN TECHNOLOGY IS TURNED AGAINST YOU?

Why are some people and businesses the target of cyberattacks and online exploitation? Why has the first half of 2020 alone seen $7.8 million lost from Kiwis’ pockets due to scams? The problem isn’t the incredible power of technology itself. It’s that somewhere, someone is trying to attack your business’s data, ransom your systems, steal your credit card info, or simply misdirect invoices for their own gain. The cybercriminal’s game is one of opportunity and exploitation. This book teaches you how to layer up your protection and stop cybercriminals before they get their hands on your digital property.

A Cybersecurity Guide for Kiwi Business Owners

WHY YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK

Prevent cyberattacks

From loss of income to exploitation and total data loss, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the risks of being unprotected – and the rewards for having a robust and layered cybersecurity strategy.

Improve your business performance

You’ll learn why web filtering is a must for protecting your staff – not just from distractions, but also spam, scams, and clickbait that can compromise their productivity and your systems.

Build your staff into your defence systems

Your team is one of your most powerful assets when it comes to cybersecurity. But do they know how to spot a cybercriminal’s email, phone call, or a fake invoice?

Get the right antivirus for you

It’s not about getting the cheapest off-the-shelf antivirus system – you need the best you can afford, one that shreds digital files, protects your USB devices, and evolves to meet the latest cyber-threats.

Manage your passwords

Your little black book or Excel file of passwords is like keeping your spare key under the front door mat. You’ll learn about the best and most secure alternatives, and why changing your passwords every 90 days is the minimum to keep ahead of cybercriminals.

Prevent internal fraud

SMEs are exponentially more likely to be victims of internal fraud – with an average of $200,000 stolen. You’ll learn what to look out for – and how to limit a fraudster’s opportunities to pinch from the till.

How to build a disaster recovery plan

Time is money, so every minute that your systems are down is profitability going down the drain. You’ll learn about the “3-2-1 Rule” and what it takes to quickly recover from a massive hit like server failure or total data corruption.

Ask the right questions

Once you’ve upped your knowledge, you’ll know what to ask of your cybersecurity professionals and what products are going to fit the bill for your specific needs so that you get the cover you need.

We had growing concerns about Cybersecurity

“We had been without a IT support partner for a while and we had growing concerns about Cybersecurity. Vertech have taken us under their wing with advanced endpoint protection, email filtering, and a cybersecurity awareness training program so I no longer need to worry as we now have an experienced team looking after all our IT requirements.

They are accessible, as and when required which is a great improvement upon our past experiences so if you want a team who are personable, reliable and up to date with the latest in IT then I would definitely recommend Vertech to you.”

Rebecca Stilton Managing Director SLA Accounting

Personalized and friendly service!

“Since engaging with Vertech it’s been a great load off our minds knowing that if something goes wrong there is someone competent to call to get tech help quickly & that we are protected from external hackers with the layers of cybersecurity systems they’ve added.

Their technical response is prompt and the organization of tickets is excellent so that jobs are followed through on by their close-knit team with owner directly involved. They have enough staff that the job can be done, but not so many that the job gets lost or passed around. Personalized and friendly service!”

WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK 

Daniel-Watson

Today, when soldiers go out on missions, they’ll layer up with protection: from Kevlar helmets and body armour, all the way to intense suits for situations where we need protection from biological, chemical, nuclear or radiological threats. The old ‘Battle Bowler’ alone just doesn’t cut it anymore.

The same is true for your off-the-shelf antivirus. It’s a thin tin hat that won’t protect you from modern cyberattacks.
For us to grow as a country, we need to encourage and protect people with great ideas who want to accomplish something big. But to do that, we have to protect them, their ideas, and their businesses. We have to stay safe. That’s where cybersecurity comes in. Cybersecurity gives businesses the confidence that they can safely invest in their innovation and in their growth – and because of that, it’s pretty much key to growing Aotearoa New Zealand (I know, big claim!). Cyberattacks, phishing, spam, ransomware… Cybersecurity might all seem frightening – but luckily, it doesn’t have to be. It is entirely possible to protect your business and your data from attacks. She'll Be Right (Not!): A Cybersecurity Guide for Kiwi Business Owners will show you how.
